Almost eight months after Nipsey Hussle‘s tragic death, his legacy as an entrepreneur and rapper is being continued in a most surprising way with a pop-up shop in New York City.
According to Billboard, Hussle’s The Marathon Clothing (TMC) store will be selling exclusive merchandise to East-Coast fans during the three-day pop up at Live Nation’s Shop Nation location in New York City. Starting from Nov. 29 to December 1, Black Friday shoppers will be able to choose from Christmas sweaters, bomber jackets, TMC sweatsuits and more for their favorite man, woman, or child.
The Instagram post announcing the venture also promises that a few special guests will be stopping through during the weekend opening.
Hussle was gunned down in Los Angeles in March. Alleged shooter Eric Holder was arrested and charged in his death. Thousands of people bought tickets to his public memorial service that was held at the Staples Center, which was followed by an almost 30-mile funeral procession through South L.A. The rapper left behind two children, Emani and Kross Ashegdom.
