Earlier this week I got in a new book “The Marathon Don’t Stop: The Life and Times of Nipsey Hussle”. The book reminded me that it has been two years since Nipsey’s untimely death back in 2019. Having gone to Los Angeles six months prior to his passing, I had a chance to visit his Marathon Clothing store.

Though I did not come in to see Nip per se, I had come in to see first hand the work he had been putting down in South Central. Having purchased the entire strip mall that Marathon Clothing store resides in. It made me extremely happy to see his success and how he invested in his people and community. I just wanted to pay respect to the late rapper and tell you all to keep pushing for success no matter what obstacles are in your way.

Rod Wave has become quite the star over the last few years.
