October 29 [12:30 EDT] — Following up on a project we first reported about on Tuesday, more details are now available concerning a new double album from slain rapper Tupac Shakur.
The album, called „R U Still Down? (Remember Me),“ will feature material recorded from 1991 to 1994 while Tupac was signed to Interscope Records. MTV News erroneously reported that the material would be culled from the vaults of Death Row Records, which signed Tupac away from Interscope in 1995.
As previously reported, the first single from „R U Still Down? (Remember Me)“ will be a track called „I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto,“ and Amaru Records notes that Lionel C. Martin, who directed Tupac’s „Dear Mama“ clip will shoot a video for the song.
„R U Still Down?“ will be the maiden effort from Amaru Records, the label started by Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, and also marks a joint venture between Amaru, Interscope, and Jive Records. As part of a new agreement, Jive will be the exclusive distributor of Tupac’s four Interscope albums, „2Pacalypse Now,“ „Thug Life,“ „Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z.“ and „Me Against The World.“
