The late Nipsey Hussle earned three Grammy nods, two for 'Racks in the Middle' with Roddy Ricch
For obvious reasons, slain rapper Nipsey Hussle’s three Grammy nominations are bittersweet, just as hearing his anthemic hit with Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy, “Racks in the Middle,” banging out of the car stereo via Real 92.3 FM generates equal parts joy and anger.
Hussle, who was gunned down earlier this year in front of his Marathon Clothing Store at Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue, earned a pair of trophy opportunities for “Racks in the Middle”: rap song and rap performance. Hussle was also acknowledged in the rap/sung performance category for his work on DJ Khaled’s “Higher” .
Notably, Hussle’s competition in the rap/sung race will pit him against, among others, young Compton rapper Ricch and Hussle’s longtime friend and collaborator, Mustard. Ricch and Mustard are nominated for Mustard’s “Ballin’,” and Ricch even shouts-out Hussle and the late rapper’s girlfriend, Lauren London, in one of the verses when he boasts of having love and wealth “like London and Nip.” Elsewhere Ricch boasts, “We came up on dirty money / I gave it a birdbath.
