In honor of Nipsey Hussle’s birthday, Multi-platinum Hip-Hop Icon, Trap music pioneer, blockbuster actor and label head
Tip “T.I.” Harris unveiled a permanent
Nipsey Hussle installation at the Trap Music Museum in Atlanta, on August 13th. Nipsey Hussle was born on August 15th.The installation was personally curated by
Tip with co-curation by Grand Hustle Head of Marketing,
James Miller. The installation is a 3-piece collaborative labor of respect and admiration for Nipsey with the majestic painting created by
BK The Artist featuring blue roses in his beard, along with images of his children, family,
Lauren London and the posthumous memorial at the Marathon clothing store. The bench in the installation, created by
Dizzy and Quake, is a take on Nipsey’s
Victory Lap album cover while the blue and red jersey was conceived by the Trap Music Museum curation collective.“Based on what Nipsey means to me and the community as a whole, we knew that the art had to be superlative, so I reached out to
BK The Artist, whose work
I personally collect and the Trap Music Museum collective commissioned
Dizzy and
Quake. I’m excited about Dizzy and Quake’s creativity and feel that their idea of doing the bench is pretty damn dope,” states Tip.Celebrity guests and influencers in attendance included: T.I.’s wife, the award-winning singer-songwriter and television star,
