The CD will be released on June 16 to commemorate the 35th birthday of his son, Tupac. Mutulu Shakur has been imprisoned in U.S. penitentiaries the past 19 years for his involvement in a bank robbery. right A 2Pac Tribute: Dare 2 Struggle will feature guest appearances of incarcerated rappers rhyming alongside the likes of the Outlawz, and Tupac's siblings Nzingha and Mopreme. Half the compilation’s proceeds will be used towards Mutulu Shakur’s inner city health and education initiatives. The project will be released by KENT Entertainment’s rap imprint FIRST KUT. “The world lost a guiding light when the flame of life went out of Tupac," KENT President Morey Alexander said via a press release statement. Last month, Tupac was honored in a different form, as Madame Tussauds Las Vegas unveiled its exclusive new Tupac Eternal exhibit.
