Many are still reeling in the loss of Nipsey Hussle. The rapper's death truly revealed how many lives he impacted, both in the rap game to his own neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. Many rappers have come forward to pay their respects. Dave East held a candlelit vigil in NYC and Trae Tha Truth held his own his Houston to honor the late rapper. It goes to show the reach that Nip had. Now, Atlanta's Shad Da God has come through with a tribute to Nip called, "Naybahood Nip."
Shad Da God pays his respects for Neighborhood Nip on his latest track. The rapper tributes Nipsey Hussle while cleverly referencing the late rapper's affiliation with Rollin' 60 Crips on the hook. He previewed the song earlier this week on Instagram, saying, "We doin' this shit for our boy Neighborhood Nip, man. And all the fallen soldiers."
Peep his new joint below.
Quotable Lyrics
I was just at the Grammy party with Naybahood
HOV in the same buildin', n***a, we smokin' good
Me and Duke pulled up in that Benz like Robin Hood
Some millionaires out the fuckin' trap, that's some hardwood
