Richmond, Virginia] [3/10/2025]
Hip-hop artist God Goldin delivers a bold and thought-provoking new track, “Nipsey Cooke,”produced by Starr Nyce. Inspired by the legacies of Sam Cooke and Nipsey Hussle, two pioneers who championed Black economic empowerment and independence, the song is a tribute to self-ownership in the music industry.
Nipsey Cooke blends sharp lyricism with a soulful yet hard-hitting beat, reflecting on the sacrifices and vision required to break free from oppressive industry norms. Just as Sam Cooke revolutionized Black ownership in music and Nipsey Hussle built a movement around economic self-sufficiency, God Goldin uses this track to continue the conversation on legacy, power, and wealth within hip-hop.
“This record is about more than music—it’s about control, ownership, and building something that lasts beyond us,” says God Goldin. “Sam Cooke and Nipsey Hussle laid the blueprint. Nipsey Cooke is my way of carrying that torch.”
With production by Starr Nyce, the track captures a raw, uplifting energy, making Nipsey Cooke both a call to action and an anthem for independence.
