\"Crips\"J. Cole<\/strong><\/a> took a moment during his sold-out Dreamville Festival to honor the late Nipsey Hussle<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 and it was quite a special sight to behold.<\/p>\n

The North Carolina grown MC was in Raleigh Saturday night, where he packed out Dix Park with no less than 40,000 people who flocked to his inaugural music festival. At one point during the show, Cole performed his hit, \u201cLove Yourz,\u201d which he dedicated to Nip.<\/p>\n

It was a touching tribute, with video footage of <\/a><\/strong>the slain L.A. rapper<\/a><\/strong> playing on a giant monitor behind JC the whole time.<\/p>\n

Even before Cole got a single line of lyrics out, the crowd took over and sang the opening verses of the track. It seems like a live band was used for the performance too \u2026 which sounded great.<\/p>\n

Cole ended \u201cLove Yourz\u201d with an explicit shout out to Nipsey, telling the crowd to make some noise him and to not put their lit cellphones down. The crowd happily obliged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well done @JColeNC<\/a> 💙🏁 #RIPNipsey<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qcv3n3z1aN<\/a><\/p>\n

Big Sean<\/strong><\/a> also paid a special tribute to Nipsey during his Dreamville Fest set, going in on what sounded like a fresh freestyle that he appeared to write specifically for the moment.<\/p>\n

Sean sent a sweet message to Nipsey himself too, saying he could still feel his energy while going on to thank him for his talent and work in his community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A memorial will be held<\/strong><\/a> for Nipsey Hussle at the Staples Center in L.A. this upcoming Thursday. It\u2019s unclear if the event will feature any music, but if not \u2026 Cole and co. certainly handled that here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
