A 2Pac Tribute: Dare 2 Struggle[1][2][3][4]is a posthumously released tribute album dedicated to the late hip hop icon.
Dr. Mutulu Shakur (Tupac's nonbiological father) released the tribute album album to commemorate his 35th birthday.The album features contributions from rappers behind bars as well as those on the outside, including Shakur's children Mopreme and Nzingha, as well as Outlawz, TQ, Slick, Imaan Faith and T-Jay. It was originally conceived before Tupac's 1996 murder, when he and Mopreme visited their father in prison and wrote the "Thug Code" to try and decrease gang violence.
Dare 2 Struggle includes a 16-page booklet that includes the "Thug Code" as well as a preview chapter of Shakur's historical novel about Tupac titled N 2 Da Gutter.
Shakur is the executive producer of the album along with Canadian hip-hop activist Raoul Juneja (a.k.a Deejay Ra). It's being released through Kent Entertainment's First Kut rap imprint in association with Juneja's Toronto-based Lyrical Knockout Entertainment company.
Half of the proceeds from the record's sales will go towards Shakur's inner city health and education initiative.
