## Bio

Born in New York to Black Panther parents and raised by his mother Afeni Shakur, he moved to the Bay Area in 1988 and released 2Pacalypse Now in 1991, establishing himself as West Coast hip-hop's sharpest political voice. Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z... and Me Against the World deepened that reputation, but after being shot five times in a New York studio lobby and serving eight months on sexual abuse charges, he signed to Death Row Records in 1995 and pivoted hard. All Eyez on Me, the first double album in hip-hop history, went Diamond and produced two number-one singles, trading introspection for volatile gangsta rap and dragging him into the center of the East Coast-West Coast feud with his former friend the Notorious B.I.G. On September 7, 1996, an unidentified gunman shot him four times in Paradise, Nevada; he died six days later, and B.I.G. was killed six months after that. Five posthumous albums followed, including The Don Killuminati under the name Makaveli, all certified multi-platinum, and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
