<\/div>\n

DJ Khaled<\/a> and John Legend<\/a> teamed for the rapper\u2019s \u201cHigher,\u201d which appears on Father of Asahd<\/em> and features the late Nipsey Hussle<\/a>. It was partially filmed on top of a parking structure in Inglewood, California, mere days before Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot outside his Los Angeles clothing store in March.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Legend plays a grand piano and sings on the gospel-tinged hook. \u201cYou keep taking me higher and higher\/Don\u2019t you know that the devil\u2019s a liar\/I know, you\u2019d rather see me down, put my soul in the fire.\u201d Nipsey Hussle comes in with his rhymes about his family\u2019s difficult back history, temptations from the streets and inspirational growth. \u201cI was thinking chess moves\/But it was God\u2019s grace,\u201d he raps.<\/p>\n

In a Twitter post, DJ Khaled said he has been on a \u201csoul-searching journey\u201d since Nipsey Hussle was murdered and with \u201cthe full blessing of the Asghedom family\u201d he decided to share the track. \u201cThe very title of the song reminds us that vibrating on a \u2018Higher\u2019 level was the essence of Nipsey\u2019s soul,\u201d DJ Khaled wrote on Twitter prior to the video\u2019s unveiling. \u201cIt is in this spirit, of moving forward, of preserving his mission that I, my co-writers, producers and label partners are donating 100% of all our proceeds from \u2018Higher\u2019 to Nipsey\u2019s children, Emari and Kross.\u201d<\/p>\n

A gift from my brother Nipsey that we want to share with the world. We miss you and we will forever keep your legacy going. The Marathon Continues. ??<\/p>\n
