For Nipsey Hussle, Independence and entrepreneurship remained at the core of his mission and his brand. That message resonated through his music, interviews, and merch lines. This became a vital part of his brand identity.

All Money in No Money out was a tagline Established by the late rapper which spoke to his financial obligations towards his brand. -Meaning he was willing to invest in himself no matter what, all his money will go into his personal success and ensuring that he reaches his dreams. Furthermore, it spoke to his creative mission that his motives were to create on his own terms and to keep his Integrity.

Nipsey is quoted to say, I will never say something I don't agree with or believe in. Even if the reward was a Massive. The artist was known to Celebrate creative Integrity overall

Within the book, The Marathon Don’t Stop: The Life and Times of Nipsey Hussle by Robert Kenner , we learned that Nipsey was known to illegally dub and sell software like Photoshop, Final Cut and other highly requested computer software in order to continue to push his dream forward. He had no issues with working street corners, selling T-shirts, selling weed, or doing whatever was necessary to reach his end goals. The artist was aggressive with his approach to his vision, which ultimately led to his grammy-nominated success.
-“If I can't get money with you, it's f*** you”
Nipsey Hussle believed that money was collaborative, he also believed that who he sat with should be beneficial to his overall growth. In business, he didn't spend time forcing believers. the offer was on the table, if you accepted it that was great, if not well f*** you. In business you will take No’s but you cannot dwell on the No’s f*** then move on.

Nipsey Hussle spoke about a strong relationship with God and his belief. He didn't compromise his morals and respect because he had a firm foundation on what he believed in. In business and in life, ensure that you believe in something or you'll fall for anything.
