The following release on Makaveli Records would've been One Nation, two albums recorded to show people that there was no East Coast/West Coast beef.

The albums would've featured artists including Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Boot Camp Clik, D.P.G., Greg Nice, Kokane, Melle Mel, Scarface, Scorpio, Snoop Dogg, Spice 1, the Luniz and of course Tupac himself.
The company logo is the name Makaveli with a crown on it and a sword through it. The diamond on the top of the I has seven lines coming out of it. In the Bible, Revelation 1:16 reads, "In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 17, When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: 'Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18, I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.' 2:8, To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: 'These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.' 10, Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11, He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death. 12, To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: 'These are the the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword' 3:1, To the angel of church in Sardis write: 'These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.'"
