NEW YORK (AP) — As the world mourns the death of rapper Nipsey Hussle, more people are listening to his music: His sales and streams have increased since he died Sunday. Several of Hussle’s songs, including “Racks In the Middle,” ″Double Up” and “Grinding All My Life,” have landed on the Spotify and iTunes’ charts. Sales for Hussle’s songs jumped from 1,000 to 14,000 on Sunday, Nielsen Music said. Hussle averaged close to 2 million audio streams before his death, but on Sunday he earned 10 million audio streams and 57 million on Monday. Jay-Z even bought 100 copies of Hussle’s “Crenshaw” for $100 each in 2013, and sent him a $10,000 check.
