Nipsey Hussle Makes Posthumous Appearance on Rapper J. Stone’s New Album

Four years after his death, the late rapper Nipsey Hussle is featured on J. Stone's new album, The Definition of Success.

Hussle appears on the track "Foundation" alongside B.H. and raps about rising through the industry.

"Look, first you got to pay dues," Hussle raps. "Then you got to make moves / And you know the game test you / You just gotta stay true / First they probably like who? / Then you finally break through / You ain’t gotta play cool / You just gotta make room / I been on a lot a missions / I caught a lot of cases / Took me a lot of time / But I built a foundation…"

The Grammy Award nominee died in Mar. 2019 after he was shot outside his own clothing store in South Los Angeles. Former President Barack Obama honored Hussle with a letter read to his friends and family at his memorial service at the Staples Center. 

"He saw a community that even through its flaws taught him to always keep going," Obama wrote in the letter. "His choice to invest in that community rather than ignore it — to build a skills training center and a coworking space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow — is a legacy worthy of celebration."

He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2022.

Hussle has enough unreleased music to release an entire posthumous album, Revolt reports.
