A California lawmaker has promised to make Nipsey Hussle’s philanthropic efforts part of the official Congressional Record “where it will be part of the United States history forever.”

Rep. Karen Bass made the pledge Wednesday evening on Twitter — days after the Grammy-nominated rapper was shot and killed outside his clothing store in Los Angeles.

“I will be heading to the House Floor next week to formally enter Nipsey Hussle’s contributions to South Los Angeles into the Congressional Record where it will be a part of United States history forever,” Bass wrote.

Hussle, an LA native, had been vocal in the past about his involvement with the Crips-affiliated Rollin 60s street gang. But he took the fortune he earned through his lucrative music career and funneled it back into his community.

The 33-year-old do-gooder purchased the Hyde Park strip mall he used to sell his mixtapes from and opened Marathon Clothing, according to NPR. He also had plans to redevelop the area with low-income housing.

Hussle, who was born Ermias Asghedom, invested in improving schools and public art projects. He was known for paying for funerals for victims of gun violence, NPR said.

The day after he was killed, the dad of two was set to meet with the Los Angeles Police Department to discuss curbing gang violence in the city.

He reportedly was helping his friend who had just been released from prison pick out new clothes at Marathon when he was killed.

Bass said the mark Hussle left on his community was indelible.

“Nipsey was a proponent of community development at the real estate and intellectual level,” the congresswoman told ABC News. “In real estate, he was all about empowerment, specifically when it came to the economic opportunity in South LA — being a part of the opportunity by becoming a real estate owner himself and immediately using the stores he opened as opportunities for employment for the community.”

In breaking her silence over his death, Hussle’s girlfriend, Lauren London, described him as her “protector” and “sanctuary.”

She and other family and friends rushed to the hospital immediately upon learning that Hussle had been gunned down outside his shop, TMZ reported.
