It’s been over a year since the tragic loss of rapper and activist Nipsey Hussle, but his legacy continues to live on through his music and the projects he had in the works before his passing. Recently, his older brother, Samiel Asghedom, opened up about the upcoming projects they had been working on together and the impact Nipsey’s vision will have on the community.
In a recent interview, Samiel shared his thoughts on the projects they had been working on and the impact it will have on the community. He revealed that they had been working on a documentary about Nipsey’s life and legacy, which will be released in the future. Samiel also mentioned that Nipsey’s Marathon Clothing store will continue to be a hub for the community, with plans to expand and create more job opportunities.
One of the most exciting projects in the works is the Nipsey Hussle Tower, a 78-unit affordable housing complex in South Los Angeles. The complex will provide housing for low-income families and also include a STEM center for youth in the community. Samiel expressed his excitement for this project, saying, “This is something that Nipsey was passionate about. He always wanted to give back to the community and provide opportunities for the youth.”
Samiel also shared that Nipsey’s message of ownership and self-sufficiency will be a major focus in all their future projects. Nipsey was a strong advocate for black ownership and entrepreneurship, and his brother is determined to continue spreading this message. “Nipsey was all about ownership and empowering our community to be self-sufficient. We will continue to carry on his legacy and make sure his message is heard,” Samiel stated.
Another project in the works is a collaboration between Nipsey’s clothing brand, The Marathon Clothing, and Puma. This partnership will not only honor Nipsey’s legacy but also give back to the community. A portion of the proceeds from the sales will go towards community initiatives and charities that were important to Nipsey.
Samiel also addressed the rumors of a posthumous album from Nipsey. He confirmed that there is unreleased music from Nipsey, but the family is taking their time to decide on the best way to release it. “We want to make sure everything is done in a way that truly represents Nipsey and his vision,” Samiel stated.
The impact of Nipsey’s projects and message can already be seen in the community. The Marathon Clothing store has become a pilgrimage site for fans and supporters, and the demand for his merchandise has only increased. The store has also become a safe space for the community, with events and initiatives held regularly.
The love and support for Nipsey is a testament to the impact he had on people’s lives. His brother, Samiel, is committed to carrying on his brother’s legacy and continuing the work he started. “Nipsey’s legacy is bigger than just music; it’s about uplifting our community and inspiring others to do the same,” Samiel affirmed.
In conclusion, Nipsey Hussle may no longer be with us, but his legacy will continue to live on through the projects he had in the works and the message he left behind. His brother, Samiel Asghedom, is determined to honor his brother’s vision and make a positive impact on the community. We can all look forward to more exciting projects from the Hussle family and continue to be inspired by Nipsey’s message of empowerment and ownership.
