A rare collection of unreleased music by the late rapper Tupac Shakur, known as 2Pac, has surfaced for private sale, with a price tag of $250,000. The collection includes a cassette featuring three unheard songs and handwritten lyrics from the early 1990s.
In late 1990 and early 1991, Tupac composed and recorded an unreleased album for a group called Jesse and the Kidz. The project was shelved due to the tragic death of one of the band members, leaving these tracks unheard for decades.
The cassette, now up for sale, features three of these unreleased songs with Tupac in the lead.
The online auction site Moments In Time is facilitating the private sale of this exclusive collection. While the cassette and lyrics are available for purchase, the buyer would need to obtain permission from the Shakur estate to release the music publicly.
This sale offers a unique opportunity for collectors and fans to own a piece of hip-hop history, reflecting Tupac’s early artistic endeavors before his rise to global fame.
This development comes on the heels of a previous auction where a hard drive containing unreleased 2Pac music, photos, and videos was expected to fetch between $600,000 and $1.2 million.
The availability of these unreleased tracks underscores the enduring legacy of Tupac Shakur and the continued interest in his contributions to music and culture.
