The Original Version of Tupac's "Dear Mama" Surfaces
RIP Afeni Shakur.

Following the passing of Tupac Shakur‘s mother Afeni Shakur, the original, previously unreleased version of the seminal Tupac record “Dear Mama” has surfaced. Originally released in 1995 as a single in support of the classic Me Against The World, 2Pac’s “Dear Mama” is rejuvenated courtesy of a Yo-Yo-sampling rendition liberated by former Tupac affiliate DJ King Assassin. With Mother’s Day directly ahead, the timing definitely fits as well. You can stream this newly-liberated version of “Dear Mama” here.
