Previously unreleased music by Tupac as well as a ream of previously unseen photographs of the rap star are set to go to auction. The items are expected to fetch $1 million.
The files have been stored on a hard drive which was the property of Pac’s late former bodyguard Frank Alexander. Gotta Have Rock and Roll are hosting the auction, and the bidding is already open.
The auctioneers state they are selling 83GB worth of unreleased Pac material, which they expect to go for between $600,000 and $1.2 million. Additionally, 10 per cent of the auction sale will be donated to the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation.
“Some of the highlights on the hard drive include a 35 second clip from a never released song – which is incredibly rare in Tupac’s recording history,” the description reads.
“The photos and videos bring you right into Tupac’s life in the mid to late ’90s and are some of the most intimate media that exists of him.”
The aforementioned track is ‘Letz Get It On (Ready 2 Rumble)’. It aired at the Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon fight, which Pac attended hours before he was murdered in 1996.
