The Hyde Park K Line Metro station, located in the Crenshaw district at Nipsey Hussle Square will soon undergo a name change if the surrounding community has any say.

On Saturday (8/6) the station was dedicated to the slain rapper who was gunned down not too far from the area in 2019. The new metro station is one of eight stops along some of the oldest communities in Los Angeles.

"From Slauson all the way to Vernon you will see world class pieces of art celebrating the history and legacy of African American people", said L.A. City Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson.

In 2019, the intersection of Crenshaw and West Slauson Avenue was named Ermias "Nipsey Hussle" Asghedom Square in his honor.

Nipsey Hussle also is also set to be posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood walk of fame soon, joining Snoop Dogg, Diddy, 50 Cent, Ice Cube and DJ Khaled (Ludacris is receiving a star next year).

Hussle was murdered on March 31, 2019 in front of his Marathon clothing store. His convicted killer Eric Holder was found guilty of first degree murder in July.
