Nipsey Hussle will forever be celebrated.
In celebration of 1500 or Nothin’ Day, which took place a week ago on January 15th with a standout surprise appearance from Dave Chappelle, the Los Angeles-based collective is now honoring the late Nipsey Hussle in a major way. Over the weekend, they announced their new collection in collaboration with Anti Social Social Club, featuring limited edition hoodies, shirts, and accessories.
Designed by 1500 or Nothin’ co-founder James Fauntleory, the collection is aptly titled Heaven’s Angels, as well as family and friends of the Grammy-award winning musical ensemble. The collection also supports 1500 Sound Academy, the trailblazing music school located in Inglewood, California, with a mission to empower the next generation of recording artists and producers.
Flaunteroy speaks on the collaboration, stating “”We had the opportunity to do something about more than clothes.. The collection is a tribute to resilience and a nod to the enduring legacy of both creativity and the human spirit. I wanted to pay respect to those who’ve heavily impacted this story, and celebrate the spirit of 1500 Day.”
A standout item from the collection includes a special tribute to Nipsey Hussle, with “LLNH” (standing for Long Live Nipsey Hussle) featured on the arm of the hoodie, as well as the names of Carlos McSwain (Snoop Dogg’s former drummer), Charles “Uncle Chucc” Hamilton (a former member of 1500 or Nothin’), rapper Brandon “G.I. Joe” Joseph, and more.
“Our products have always shown up in the hip-hop space, and we’re excited to be collaborating with James and Rance, who have played a big role in defining what hip-hop sounds like today,” says Anti Social Social Club. “1500 or Nothin’ has been a driving force behind many of the greatest hits of our time. With a collection called “Heaven’s Angels,” ASSC is proud to play an ode to some of their past friends and collaborators who helped them get to where they are.”
All the items feature graphics designed by Fauntleroy, such as the hoodie, long sleeve tee, short sleeve tee, coaches bag, Nalgene bottle, and dad cap. The prices range from $35 to $99, available now to shop on ADDC’s online store.
