LiveXLive was on the scene Sunday in Hyde Park. 

A very dark day in hip-hop as one of the culture’s brightest young talents was killed today. Details are still coming in, however it has been reported that Nipsey Hussle was shot multiple times in front of his Marathon Clothing store in LA. He later was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Marathon Clothing became a staple of the LA neighborhood since it opened in 2017 and the lyrical MC just announced to expand the store and open other businesses in the area.

Hussle was enjoying a career upswing, releasing his first official LP Victory Lap in 2018 and he was nominated for rap album of the year at this year’s Grammy Awards. Besides working on his solo album, Hussle told LiveXLive he was gearing up to introduce a new flock of MCs on his own record imprint.

The hip-hop world is at a standstill following the news of Nipsey. Celebs around the world have shared their condolences.

Our hearts and prayers go out to Nipsey Hussle and his family. Rest in peace, Nip.
