The past week was a difficult one for many, following the news of GRAMMY-nominated hip-hop artist and community activist Nipsey Hussle's murder in his hometown of Los Angeles on March 31.
Fans far and wide, and especially in his community of South L.A., have come together to remember his legacy and listen to his music.
Now, according to Billboard's latest numbers, Hussle's GRAMMY-nominated debut studio album, Victory Lap, holds the No. 2 spot on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The LP originally debuted on the chart at No. 4 last year, following its Feb. 16 release.

Prior to Victory Lap, Hussle had dropped quite a few mixtapes over the years, beginning with Slauson Boy Volume 1 in 2005. Now, four of the mixtapes have made their Billboard 200 debut; with 2013's Crenshaw at No. 63, 2016's Slauson Boy 2 at No. 109, and 2010's The Marathon at No. 179 and 2014's Mailbox Money at No. 192.
Hussle is deeply missed, but will never be forgotten.
