Atlanta Benefit Concert in Memory of Tupac Today

Today is the birthday of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur who was killed in 1996. He was only 25 when he was murdered and many people still believe somehow he faked his death. His mother, on the other hand, disregards these myths and has taken the time to honor her son by working with comedian Mike Epps to put on a benefit show. In Atlanta at The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, a concert will be held today in memory of the artist who would be 38. The list of people performing has yet to be released.



Epps expressed in an interview with Starpulse Entertainment, "I'm a longtime fan of Pac's music. It's always been the soundtrack for overcoming struggle and when my life was in a desolate place it was his messages that helped bring me through. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for his inspiration. It's an honor for me to stand alongside his mother, Afeni Shakur, in celebrating such a personal moment in her son's history."
