This estate is said to have a ton of unreleased music from the legend. A lot of the music is said to be in bits and pieces and some of it is actually complete. Whalley himself says that the work that would need to be done on some of the music can be completed and it would be worth it to get it out to the fans.

He’s one of the new great poets.” Whalley said. This is exciting news for everyone who need more Tupac tracks in their life.
