THUG LIFE Thug Life Volume 1 IVC Edition hails from 2024 and is a SEALED limited edition and numbered 180 Gram LP pressed on Opaque Gray Vinyl (top seam fracture). Within 2Pac’s prodigious catalog, his only fully collaborative album stands as a quasi-lost classic of the G-funk era. Featuring production by the group itself alongside Nate Dogg, Warren G and Easy Mo Bee, the album draws on the funk blueprint of Parliament-Funkadelic and Isley Brothers. Shakur — with Big Syke, Rated R, Mopreme, and Macadoshis— delivers socially conscious rhymes on a tightly constructed 10-track album. With no skits or interludes, the group delivers an unflinching look at life on the street, turning themes of despair, injustice, and longing into timeless art. “How Long Will They Mourn Me?” and “Pour Out a Little Liquor” are ruminating meditations on death and mourning, while “Cradle to the Grave” showcases Shakur’s unparalleled bravado (“Mama gave birth to a hell-raisin’ heavenly son / See, the doctor tried to smack me but I smacked him back.”)
