Episode Description

Fans of the rapper Nipsey Hussle are remembering his music as well as his contributions to South LA, where he was raised.

The 33-year-old was shot and killed Sunday outside The Marathon store he owned.

While many rappers leave their neighborhoods when they find success, Hussle was an entrepreneur and an activist who stuck around and invested in his community, even having a hand in creating the logo for Destination Crenshaw.

On this episode of DnA on ATC, Frances Anderton tells Eric Roy about Hussle’s commitment to the art and economy of South LA.
