14 years after the death of legendary figure Tupac Shakur, new Death Row President John Payne plans to release the first full-length album of original material from the West Coast rapper since The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.
In an interview with VIBE.com, Payne stated the album will likely be released around Christmas time. “This is unreleased 2Pac…no remastering or remixing…The songs are from a collection of tracks that were recorded during his Death Row days around All Eyez On Me. I believe that these songs could have been 2Pac’s next record if he were still alive.”
In other news, deejay/streetwear fashion designer Aaron LaCrate will be putting on a special performance in New York next Wednesday (May 19) to commemorate the release of his Milkcrate t-shirt “The Godly Collabo” with veteran emcee Rakim and British photographer Janette Beckham.
Along with LaCrate and Rakim, other performers for the night include DJ Clark Kent and MZ Streamz, who is also celebrating the release of her debut mix album It’s Alive. Presale tickets for the show are available at musicislove.net.
