Can Nipsey Hussle’s death bring peace to LA’s gangs?
Nipsey Hussle performs in April 2018.
In the days after rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed, members of rival gangs across Los Angeles came together to mourn his death.

Mary Harris, host of the daily Slate podcast “What Next,” talks with Cindy Chang, a reporter covering LA police for the Los Angeles Times, about Hussle’s legacy.
