Big Sean pays tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle in the music video for his latest release, ‘Deep Reverence.’

One of many gems found aboard Sean’s latest chart-topping album, ‘Detroit 2’ (click here to stream), the Hit Boy-produced ‘Reverence’ lives up to its title in homage to Hussle (who was murdered this month two years ago).

In the Sergio-directed video, Sean – alongside West Coast legend Snoop Dogg – salutes the fallen rapper by visiting a series of Los Angeles murals painted in his honor. Speaking on the experience, the 32-year-old took to Instagram to say:

“This one of the most uncomfortable, honest songs I ever did,” Sean said of the track on Instagram. “I said things on here I thought I’d never say publicly, but realized that u gotta live and own all your truths, cause u can’t always count on that opportunity to be there. To one of the realest, most solid humans ever made @nipseyhussle ! Thank you bro! You still blessing all of us! It’s deeper than 4Life it’s 4ever.”
