DJ Khaled’s “Higher” Video Is A Heartfelt Tribute To Nipsey Hussle

May 20, 2019

DJ Khaled and John Legend teamed for the rapper’s “Higher,” which appears on Father of Asahd and features the late Nipsey Hussle.

The visual for the song was partially filmed on top of a parking structure in Inglewood, California, just days before Nipsey was fatally shot outside his Marathon Clothing store in March.

In a Twitter post, Khaled said he has been on a “soul-searching journey” since Nipsey Hussle was murdered and with “the full blessing of the Asghedom family” he decided to share the track. “The very title of the song reminds us that vibrating on a ‘Higher’ level was the essence of Nipsey’s soul,” DJ Khaled wrote on Twitter prior to the video’s unveiling. “It is in this spirit, of moving forward, of preserving his mission that I, my co-writers, producers and label partners are donating 100% of all our proceeds from ‘Higher’ to Nipsey’s children, Emani and Kross.”
