A Docu-series on the Life of Hip-Hop Pioneer and Activist Nipsey Hussle is Headed Our Way

A new docu-series telling the story of Nipsey Hussle's incredible life is on its way!

Marathon Films, the production company created by the late rapper, and LeBron James and Maverick Carter's SpringHill production company have released the trailer for the upcoming untitled series.

The series tells the story of a young Ermias Asghedom growing up in Crenshaw to the musician and activist he became later on in life. It will also give viewers exclusive access to Nipsey’s inner circle, never-before-seen archival footage, and interviews with more than 50 collaborators including Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Diddy, and Nipsey’s longtime partner, Lauren London.

“It’s an incredible honor for SpringHill to have a part in sharing Nipsey’s story and legacy with the world,” said 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 was a man of the people,” said Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom, Nipsey’s older brother. “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.’"
