According to a report from The Blast, the group has registered the slogan to "better the lives of youth in the community" and wants to enact several services through the trademark including "developing educational manuals for others in the field of community organizing, gang prevention, gang intervention."

The application also mentions entertainment services that will be provided by by celebrities, comedians, rappers, and 'community organizers" from both the Crips and the Bloods.

Hussle was affiliated with the Rolling 60s, a large Crips gang in southwest Los Angeles.

Shortly after the rapper's death, rival Los Angeles gangs from Watts, Compton, and Inglewood met to honor Nipsey Hussle and make a call for peace, resulting in a march that went from a local Crenshaw grocery store to Hussle's Marathon clothing store.

"We having a gang truce and rally so all the different gangs from LA can get together and celebrate the life and the gift of Nipsey," Big U, a community leader, told TMZ at the time. "It's a lot of people who were calling who said they wanted to get together and come to the vigil and pay respect."

"Nipsey was the first real LA artist that was from LA — not like Tupac [who] was from somewhere else and then LA…Nipsey was the first like real LA artist to die the way he died. He didn't have no conflict with nobody, he wasn't beefing with nobody," Big U added.
