About this audiobook
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
This âbeautiful tribute to a legendary artistâ (Quincy Jones) is the first in-depth biography of Nipsey Hussle, the hip-hop mogul, artist, and activist whose transformative legacy inspired a generation with his motivational lyrics and visionary business savvyâbefore he was tragically shot down in the very neighborhood he was dedicated to building up.
For Nipsey Hussle, âThe Marathonâ was more than a mixtape title or the name of a clothing store; it was a way of life, a metaphor for the relentless pursuit of excellence and the willpower required to overcome adversity day after day. Hussle was determined to win the race to success on his own terms, and he wanted to see his whole community in the winnerâs circle with him.
A moving and powerful exploration of an extraordinary artist, The Marathon Donât Stop places Hussle in historical context and unpacks his complex legacy. Combining on-the-ground reporting and candid interviews, âRob Kenner has given us the book the worldâand hip-hop and pop cultureâhas been waiting forâŚone that should be celebrated alongside the best biographies ever about iconic figures we have lovedâand lostâ (Kevin Powell, author of When We Free the World).
