Proud 2 Pay was born out of the concept of community. “Always by choice, never by force”! Nipsey Hussle has always given back to the community and wanted to show that his people would support him in return. In a world of greedy music label execs and controlling industry figures, Nipsey Hussle wanted to empower the artist, leading to the creation of Proud 2 Pay. His first proud-to-pay campaign centered around his mixtape Crenshaw, Hussle created 1,000 copies of his signed mixtape and charged $100 for them. Every single copy was bought in under 24 hours, and Hussle achieved his goal of creating a conversation around artistic genius and freedom and proving that his community would always show out for him.

 

The Reciprocity.life proud-to-pay price is $84.00. Our Hoodie and crewneck crew neck P2P price is $111. Our proud-to-pay items are available in red-colored clothing only. Why 84.00? Why 111.00? Why only red? Founder, Brian Rogers was born in 1984 and has a goal to live to a minimum of 84 years of age, which would make him the oldest living male on his side of the family to date. 111, is an angel number. 111 is considered to be an angel number that is said to represent opportunity, good luck, and achievement. 111 encourages individuals to take risks and welcome fresh experiences in their relationships. 111 signifies confidence within yourself and motivates your strength and decision-making when opportunities are sent your way. This is a number that has routinely shown up in Brian’s life over the last few years.
