The music video for “Higher” was one of the last videos Nipsey Hussle was a part of before his unfortunate passing. In fact, the video was filmed days before he was gunned down.
Prior to releasing the music video, DJ Khaled announced that all of the proceeds from the song would go to Nipsey Hussle’s children.
As we previously reported, Nipsey has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. Aside from his Best Rap/ Sung Performance nomination with DJ Khaled and John Legend. He also received a nomination for Best Rap Song, and also Best Rap Performance for his single “Racks in the Middle,” featuring Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy.
In the end, Nipsey Hussle’s legacy and music will continue to live on forever.
