The Marathon will be televised.
A documentary on Nipsey Hussle titled Hussle is currently in the works and is set to arrive in 2023.
Spearheaded both LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill Company and Hussle’s Marathon Films, Hussle will follow the life of the late rapper Nipsey Hussle from his early days in Crenshaw to his successful music career and influence as an activist. The three-and-a-half minute trailer has been released featuring never-before-seen and rare archive footage of Nipsey.
According to Deadline, Hussle will include over 50 collaborators featuring commentary and interviews by Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Diddy, and Nipsey’s longtime partner, Lauren London, among others.
“It’s an incredible honor for SpringHill to have a part in sharing Nipsey’s story and legacy with the world,” said LeBron James. “He used his gift to give back to his community and lived what it means to inspire, empower, and uplift others along the way. His words, his ambition, and his actions stick with me to this day as he continues to inspire myself, our company, and people everywhere.”
Nipsey’s older brother, Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom adds, “Nipsey was a man of the people. He often said his purpose in life was to inspire. Nipsey’s light shone across the world. His life is a testament that his purpose was fulfilled. The family has taken the proper time and care needed to ensure that Nipsey’s life story be detailed and presented correctly and accurately. We are honored to be able to cement Nipsey’s legacy with this epic docu-series of his life. Nipsey said, “’If they made a story about my life, it better be a classic.’”
Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot in front of his Los Angeles clothing shop in 2019 at the age of 33. In July, Eric Holder Jr. was convicted of first-degree murder for the murder.
