All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 22, 2021

Just as he was gaining critical and commercial success as a rap artist, Ermias Asghedom, widely known as Nipsey Hussle, was murdered in broad daylight in a parking lot on March 31, 2019. A new book by a founding editor of Vibe, Rob Kenner, titled, The Marathon Don't Stop: The Life and Times of Nipsey Hussle, chronicles the rapper’s life and his rise as a national hip hop star and community activist. Rob Kenner joins us to discuss Asghedom’s life, work, and legacy.
