Holder faces up to life in prison, if convicted as charged. He pleaded not guilty.
Hussle, the Grammy-winning rapper whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, was gunned down in April 2019 outside of his clothing store in South Los Angeles.
Hussle was standing in a parking lot when Holder allegedly approached and shot him multiple times, police said. Hussle was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Two other people were wounded.
The coroner determined the rapper died from gunshot wounds to the head and torso, ruling the manner of death a homicide.
