"Until The End of Time"
1971 — 1996
Poet. Prophet. Rebel. Rap's most influential voice.
Born Lesane Parish Crooks in East Harlem on June 16, 1971, and later renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur, Pac fused raw street narrative with revolutionary politics and a poet's ear. From his debut 2Pacalypse Now in 1991 to the Makaveli saga, he released five studio albums in his lifetime and became one of the best-selling music artists in history.
More than a rapper, Tupac was a Shakespearean actor, a published poet, and a cultural lightning rod. His work moves between rage and tenderness — "Hit 'Em Up" and "Dear Mama" can sit on the same shelf. He was fatally shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later at age 25.
Three decades on, his catalogue still drops hammers.

Born in Andover, UK in 1984 and been riding with Pac since day one. From 2Pacalypse Now right through the Makaveli saga, every bar, every verse, every interlude — this catalogue has been the soundtrack to my life.
Outside the speakers I'm a proud food lover and a car enthusiast — I've got time for good plates and clean motors. That's it, that's the bio.
"All Eyez On Me" — forever.
