FirstKut and Incarcerated Freedom Fighter Dr. Mutulu Shakur will be releasing the CD "A 2Pac Tribute: Dare 2 Struggle" on June 16, commemorating the 35th birthday of Dr. Shakur's son Tupac Amaru Shakur. Tupac is the best-selling rap musician of all time and arguably the most influential artist in the genre.
Dr. Mutulu Shakur has been imprisoned in US penitentiaries the past 19 years for activities in support of the Black Liberation Movement. "A 2Pac Tribute: Dare 2 Struggle" is the first ever compilation to feature incarcerated rappers alongside hip-hop heavyweights. Such a project was actually conceived by Tupac and his brother Mopreme during their prison meetings with Mutulu, when they wrote the 'Thug Code' constitution [included in the CD booklet] to help decrease gang violence.
