NBA Live 19 Creator Challenge: Nipsey Hussle ready for a victory lap
Hip-hop heads are most familiar with Nipsey Hussle based on his lyrical skills and hard work ethic.

His debut LP “Victory Lap” arrived in February of last year, going as high as No. 4 on the US Billboard album charts.
He now becomes the latest hip-hop star to transition to baller in the NBA Live 19 Creator Challenge. He joins NBA Live celebs Lil Dicky, YG, and Jadakiss among the rappers featured in this exciting ongoing challenge. A special video below shows off Nipsey Hussle in action on the virtual courts.

Gamers can fire up their console of choice and head to the NBA Live Creator Challenge to do battle with Nipsey and his team. However, this feature will require being connected to the PlayStation Network in order to compete. Check out our how to challenge Jadakiss post for more details on what it takes.
Here’s a look at the Nipsey Hussle playable character you can achieve, but you’ll have to defeat his team in an outdoors game of five-on-five. Hussle’s character is a 90 overall shooting guard with Slasher player type and an Epic Quality level. Only the finest from Cali and that includes the team he’s rolling with.
Hussle is bringing quite the squad for the battle too. His team features the likes of LeBron James, James Harden, and Kawhi Leonard to represent Cali from different teams. So give it a go in the coming days on Live to see if you can add him to your team.
