Meek and Roddy premiered the track at the Grammy ceremony alongside John Legend, DJ Khaled and YG
last March within the confines of a restrictive award show. Part of the answer was debuting new song, “Letter to Nipsey,” which features Meek and Roddy eulogizing their lost comrade.
“Letter to Nipsey” is a balancing act; Meek and Roddy try to deliver an uplifting message amid tragedy and the sobering reality of losing a gifted rapper so young. Meek’s verse begins with the Philadelphia rapper telling the story of Nipsey’s funeral before transitioning to the present and past to explain how he’s coping.
“And I ain’t finna say it like I’m your main homie,” Meek raps in his patented yelp. “But when we lost you it really put some pain on me/Got me scared to go outside without that flame on me/And when them niggas went against me, you ain’t change on me.” Roddy’s melodic sensibilities anchors the hook as his voice dips and soars asking, “How many tears did you cry when you lost someone?”, Roddy discussed losing Nipsey and the subsequent success of “Racks in the Middle,” one of his last songs.
