Collaboration
After Tupac´s two studio/solo albums he formed the group THUG LIFE in 1994. The group featured Big Syke, Macadoshis, Mopreme, The Rated R and Tupac Shakur. It has been said that 2Pac created two other versions of this album, with many of the songs still remaining unreleased.
Between August 1994 - June 1995 four singles was released, unfortunately i don´t have the track titled "IT DON´T STOP" and when i take a quick look at my album i don´t find that track either.
The first single from this album was "POUR OUT A LITTLE LIQUOR" and the releasedate of that was: August 23, 1994
THUG LIFE / POUR OUT A LITTLE LIQUOR
The second single from the album was "CRADLE TO THE GRAVE" and the releasedate of that was: November 4, 1994
THUG LIFE / CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
Then the track titled "IT DON´T STOP" was released March 16, 1995
The last single from this amazing album was "HOW LONG WILL THEY MOURN ME" and it was released in June 27, 1995. This track contains a feature from NATE DOGG, and in my opinion also one of the best tracks from the album.

Hope you enjoy this three tracks from this album that peaked at #42 on BILLBOARD CHART and #6 on TOP HIP HOP ALBUMS.

KEEP YA HEAD UP
"Keep Ya Head Up" is a late 1993 hit by Tupac Shakur. It addresses issues concerning lack of respect toward the female gender, especially poor black women. It has a very positive message and is often used as an example of Shakur's softer side.
Many consider it to be one of the deepest rap songs ever made and is often referenced by other artists in their work, building Shakur's persona as a very conscious and influential rapper.
Released: October 28, 1993
Producer: DJ DARYL

HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME
"Holler If Ya Hear Me" is a song by 2Pac, from his second solo album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.. It was the first single released from this album in 1993. The track, which uses a sample from Public Enemy's "Rebel Without a Pause", is an anthem of resistance. Frustrations with black poverty, police injustice, and Tupac's perceived persecution from political figure Dan Quayle fuel the majority of the track. Hustling, bearing arms, and refusal to conform are the key methods of combating said issues, and the chorus leads those listeners in agreement to join in the movement. The song is autobiographical in nature, referring to various traumas experienced by Tupac himself.
Released: february 4 - 1993
Producer: STRETCH

TRAPPED
It´s time for Pac´s third and last single from his debutalbum.
"TRAPPED" is a song by 2Pac that deals with police brutality. The last single form his debutalbum 2PACALYPSE NOW.
The first verse tells a story of 2Pac being harassed by the police, and one even shooting at him. He then fires back and says he did it, because he would be ridiculed by girls if he didn't. 2Pac then depicts the police chasing after him and eventually cornering him. He then ends the song with the line "I'd rather die then be trapped in the living hell", implying he will go out in a blaze of glory rather than going to jail.
Releasedate: September 25, 1992
Producer: Pee-Wee
