“One Nation” The Album…Finally?

Could it be ? Finally after all these years?
I got this thread from a friend of mine who saw this on AHH.Com
DOPE!

u decide
either way its great news!
After 13 years of speculation and legal wrangling, the late Tupac Shakur’s dream of musically uniting the East and West Coasts has become a reality with the release of his ambitious One Nation album. The opus was originally conceived by Tupac in 1996, after he witnessed the media and fan fallout of his personal feud with former friend The Notorious B.I.G. Feeling that the issue had caused unnecessary tension between entire coasts, Tupac reached out to respected Brooklyn collective Boot Camp Clik to release a joint project dispelling any media notion of a Hip-Hop civil war. From Shakur’s California residence, the parties worked diligently on completing a full album in time for release the following year. Because of Tupac’s unsolved September 1996 murder, tracks from the project were indefinitely shelved and remained in limbo for the next 13 years. Now, label A.E.G. has acquired the rights for the 18-track LP, and will release One Nation as a digital-only album. Guests assisting Tupac and Boot Camp on the project include Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Tha Outlawz, Big Daddy Kane, Greg Nice, and the Notorious B.I.G.

“We Back Mortimer”… quote from the movie ‘Trading Places’
by General Steele on Mar.10, 2009, under New Music
Yeh “We Back Mortimer”, remember that?
Anyway
I’m back in business. It’s been a minute since my last (first) blog.
Sometimes this internet biz gets hard to keep up with, especially when you are an artist / editor / engineer /father / etc.
But you know the game don’t stop
As you may or may not know we began working on “Welcome To Bucktown” the soundtrack last year
and did a collaboration with Methods NYC in which we released a limited line of T-shirts (4 original designs)
accompanied by an advance digital copy of the soundtrack “Welcome To Bucktown”
(including 9 songs when you purchase any one of the shirts).
Check out exclusive footage in SMT Studios with Evil Dee applying the cuts…..
