Meek Mill And Roddy Ricch's 'Letter To Nipsey' Is A Sweet Celebration Of A Fallen Friend

Nipsey Hussle's astonishing tribute at the 62nd Grammy Awards was everything that fans of the late rapper could have asked for, associated with companions and collaborators that knew and understood his vision. Artists like Meek Mill, Roddy Ricch, YG, DJ Khaled, and John Legend paid homage to Nipsey in the form of emotional performances. Meek and Ricch opened up the tribute with a touching number that reflected on how they felt right after Nipsey's passing. After the awards show, the two rappers released the stirring song, "Letter To Nipsey." And also its release, Meek revealed that the proceeds of its sale will all go towards Nipsey's family.


"Letter To Nipsey" is an intense, emotional diary entry of emotions. Meek writes first, explaining that but he wasn't the closest with Nipsey, his death has had a tremendous impact on him. "And I ain't finna mention it like I'm your main homie/ But once we lost you it really put some pain on me," he raps. Meek continues on boldly, detailing the tears that he's trim for Nipsey.


Ricch sings a powerful chorus about questioning faith immediately after such a key figure in his life was taken away before then going into a verse about his own feelings towards Nipsey. "I was in Miami any time Once I lost you, I ain't talk about it/ I remember I bawled out in tears Once I saw your body," he pushes out, although it's rough to rap about. He ends his verse by calling Nipsey his big brother and paying his respects to the rapper's family.


Nipsey and Roddy acquired the Grammy for Best Rap Performance for their group effort, "Racks In The Middle." It was Nipsey's first posthumous Grammy immediately after being nominated last year for Best Rap Album thanks to Victory Lap.
