The world's biggest hip-hop artist, Snoop Dogg, will be featured on a Tupac Shakur track with SA phenomenon, Zola.
According to Lance Stehr CEO of Ghetto Ruff, Zola's record company - Snoop has already recorded his part of the collaboration. Zola will do the same in September when the Tupac Foundation and Tupac's family come to South Africa to scatter some of the dead rapper's ashes over Soweto.
His ashes have already been scattered in the Pacific Ocean and over Malcom X Square in NeW York. A spokesperson for the Tupac foundation said it was appropiate the ashes be scattered over Soweto as the township had palyed a big part in the South African struggle.
During Tupac's upbringing he was not oblivious to the struggle of the black youth in America and Africa.
Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, was a section leader in the Black Panthers - a revolutionary African-American group-and this influenced Tupac's life greatly. This can be heard in his lyrics and more so in his poetry.
"We are honoured to be associated with a project of this nature," said Stehr.
It is the first time an African artist will appear with Tupac Shakur & Snoop Dogg. The release date for the album, which includes top acts like 50 Cent, has not been confirmed. Just recently Zola was a support act for Snoop Doog on his tour of South Africa.
Zola was ecstatic yesterday. "When kwaito started over 10 years ago, no one thought it would last....It's now gone international. "I'm so excited that I'll be able to scream in two years time," Zola said
There have been a few rumour's circulating, that an unreleased track called "Street Life" will be remixed for this compilation,
Snoop premiered this track on "Tim Westwood's" radio 1 show back in 98.
