“Ermias Asghedom, more commonly known as the hip-hop artist Nipsey Hussle, inspired so many people and loved the community he came from. I join South L.A. and his fans around the world in mourning his sudden and tragic passing. We should take comfort that his legacy will live on through his children, his music, his community, all those he positively impacted, including his vision and work on Destination Crenshaw. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones and I send them my deepest condolences.” -Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson
