The items will be available for sale on June 1.

Interscope Records also shared an Instagram teaser video announcing the collaboration on Monday (May 22), promising that fans will be delighted with what’s available.

“Fans and collectors alike are invited to join us on this journey as we revisit one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time. Stay tuned for all the latest updates and don’t miss your chance to own a piece of music history,” the company wrote in part.

That’s why it was unsurprising when the “Fuck Wit’Dre Day” rapper received the distinction of having the “greatest Hip Hop beat of all time” by Spotify’s RapCaviar.

The streaming platform’s dedicated rap channel ranked the top 50 Hip Hop beats ever made in celebration of the genre’s 50th birthday on May 11 and gave the esteemed title to Dre’s 2001 hit “Still D.R.E.” featuring Snoop Dogg.

Produced by Dre, Scott Storch and Mel-Man and anchored by an iconic piano melody, “Still D.R.E.” held the top spot over other classic tracks like Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones Pt. 2,” Clipse’s “Grindin,’” Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya?” and Lil Wayne’s “A Milli.”

Memorable beats from Kanye West (“Power”), Diddy (“It’s All About the Benjamins”), Mike Jones (“Still Tippin”), Travis Scott (“Sicko Mode”) and Missy Elliott (“Get Ur Freak On”) also made the list.
