Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Clothing Store in South Central Los Angeles was one of the biggest accomplishments in the late rapper’s career; it established a business in his hometown and grew into a million-dollar endeavor. The store, which he opened up back in 2017, would also be where the Victory Lap rapper was tragically shot and killed in March 2019. Now, according to a report from The Blast, the Marathon Clothing Store has been vandalized and looted.

A video recorded by a bystander reveals severe damage to the store, which was reportedly looted, its windows smashed, and graffiti tagged on the walls. The person who recorded the video makes their anger known, saying, “Whoever did this sh*t — if we ever find out who did this, it’s ugly for you cuz.” They add, “I swear to God. We gon hurt somebody cuz. You n****s some f*cking haters. This sh*t is fucked up. Bitch ass n****s.”

Unfortunately, Nipsey’s store was not the only one damaged in the incident. The surrounding outlets in the plaza were also victims of vandalism. Thankfully, some members of the community have already joined together to begin the cleanup process.

Nipsey Hussle is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
