WIDEawake To Release 2Pac Album In 2010

Since purchasing the Death Row catalog this past January, WIDEawake Entertainment has been relatively quiet and that’s about to change with the quickness. A week after what would have been his 38th birthday, the company told Billboard they plan on releasing exclusive 2pac materials that have been preserved and relegated to the Shakur Estate and Death Row Records to the date.
The album, untitled as yet, is subject to be released sometime in June of 2010.
In conjunction with EverGreen, who will design the compositions and masters of such releases, WIDEawake also plans on releasing The Chronic: Re-lit. Complete with four new tracks and a DVD of Dre and other artists, it promises to evoke memories of a golden era when the West Coast could do no wrong. The Chronic: Re-Lit will be released this September.
“WIDEawake [was] looking for a partner to help monetize their rights,” David Schulhof, co-CEO of EverGreen explained to Billboard. “We already had a relationship through the estate of Tupac Shakur; WIDEawake was looking for an exclusive boutique company to help focus on licensing in the film, television, video game and ad world.
“Because we own the catalogs of Tupac and 2 Live Crew and Teddy Riley and others, they knew we already had experience in the genre. So, it just felt like the obvious choice for them to partner up with us for Death Row.”
