With a very classy move, DJ Khaled is donating the profits from his Nipsey Hussle collaboration to Nipsey’s kid. The song is called “Higher” and the two were in the midst of working on the music video when Nipsey was murdered a month and a half ago. In an Instagram post, Khaled wrote that everyone involved in the making of the song has agreed to donate the money to Kross Ashghedom, Nipsey’s son with girlfriend Lauren London.
It was clear that Nipsey Hussle’s sudden passing really affected Khaled. He said in the post, “”It began when a tragedy robbed the world of an enlightened soul, a brother, a father, a partner and my friend, Nipsey Hussle. Just days prior, he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called ‘Higher.’” Nipsey seemed to have that effect on people that knew him, that he was really some kind of enlightened saint-like figure.
The song features John Legend on the hook and is set to be released on DJ Khaled’s highly anticipated album Son of Asahd this Friday. I’ll feel better when I stream this song on Friday, knowing that it might in some way help Nipsey’s son continue his father’s legacy.
