The legacy of Nipsey Hussle is being permanently honored in Los Angeles with the unveiling of Nipsey Hussle Square at the iconic intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson.

The plaza, which remains family-owned, will also serve as home to the Neighborhood Nip Foundation, continuing Nipsey’s mission of economic empowerment, ownership, and community reinvestment.
