The date was March 29, 2009. Nipsey was in Chicago for a show at the House of Blues; he and Jay Rock -- with K. Dot as his hypeman -- were opening for The Game. That January, I spoke with Nip for DJBooth, and we exchanged contacts after the interview. pic.twitter.com/Hp9OhgPi7U

He soared so high and could've flew away yet he stayed down to earth inspiring others to strive to reach those once unattainable heights. Every conversation we had was warm and genuine. He was a difference maker who didn't merely bask in status, he offered hope God bless Nipsey
