“It began when a tragedy robbed the world of an enlightened soul, a brother, a father, a partner and my friend, Nipsey Hussle.

“Just days prior, he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called “Higher.”

” After much prayer and reflection; and with the full blessing of the Asghedom family, I am sharing that moment with the world.

” The very title of the son reminds us that vibrating on a “Higher” level was the essence of Nipsey’s soul.
