Rap fans across the world are mourning Nipsey Hussle<\/a>. The 33-year-old Los Angeles rapper, born Ermias Asghedom, was shot and killed on Sunday in front of his clothing store in L.A., per<\/span> NBC<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listeners, both loyal and casual, have shared their condolences and feelings of disbelief since news of his death began to spread. Artists like Drake, Rihanna and Pharrell Williams have all paid tribute to the late rapper. \u201cYou were about something positive and for your community in every chance you had to speak,\u201d Pharrell<\/span> wrote<\/span><\/a> on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Asghedom was just as well known for his philanthropic and entrepreneurial efforts, it was his music that laid the groundwork for his career. He released his first project,<\/span> Slauson Boy Vol. 1<\/span><\/em>, in 2005. His last album,<\/span> Victory Lap<\/span><\/em>, was released in 2018 after years of anticipation. The wait seemed to pay off: Asghedom earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album at this year\u2019s Grammy Awards. \u201cI was trying to make progress with every release,\u201d the rapper told<\/span> Rolling Stone<\/span><\/a> earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n
