On March 31, 2019, Nipsey Hussle, a famous rapper from South Central Los Angeles, CA was gunned down in front of his Marathon clothing store while helping former inmates transition into life outside of prison walls, and just a day before his mediation conference where he was brokering peace between gang members and the local police. It’s a tragedy that will haunt the city of Los Angeles for some time to come.

This my favorite song by Nipsey Hussle thus far.
It’s a beautiful song about upleveling your life rather than being a victim of circumstance. It’s about changing your mental environment even when you cannot change your physical environment. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I have.
