Nipsey Hussle

In the Los Angeles hip-hop and alternative music scene, few have served as a quintessential voice of their generation more than rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Born Ermias Joseph Asghedom on August 15, 1985, the life and times of Hussle as an emcee, entrepreneur, father, and community activist were awe-inspiring to millions of fans.

Sadly, the Victory Lap, Grammy-winner – who was tragically murdered at his Marathon retail store in 2019 at the age of 33 – wouldn’t live to see the positive impact his words and actions continue to have on the world. Thankfully, gifted artists like Brock Seals were inspired to pay tribute to Hussle while he was still living. The multi-faceted St. Louis artist, designer, musician, and painter gifted one of his own exclusive artworks to Hussle in 2018 – prior to Hussle’s death – and Julien’s Auctions is now offering you the opportunity to own that exact piece, hand-signed by Seals. 

This one-of-a-kind acrylic on canvas portrait of Hussle is being offered at auction in our upcoming Played, Worn, & Torn: Rock ‘N’ Roll Iconic Guitars and Memorabilia sale – and features some familiar and inspiring words made famous by the “Hussle & Motivate” orator.
