In a statement, the Grammys’ executive producer, Ken Ehrlich, said of the Hussle tribute: “An activist, entrepreneur, and rapper, Nipsey Hussle had a lasting impact on not just his community, but also the culture at large. There is no denying the influence he had, and his legacy will be felt for generations to come. We are honored to bring together this amazing group of artists to celebrate Nipsey’s life and pay tribute to his many contributions to music. It’s sure to be a memorable performance.
”of the posthumous success of “Racks in the Middle”: “I was really shocked by that one because we had no idea that song would get recognized. [Nipsey] was so adamant about putting that song out right after the Grammys last year. The label was concerned that we didn’t have enough time and runway to set it up.
