Huh?
Gucci Mane has already racked up plenty of new material since his release from prison, but here’s a collaboration no one could have predicted. The rapper’s latest single, ‘On Me’, includes a verse from the late Tupac Shakur.
Mane announced the news on Twitter while promoting the single’s premiere on Atlanta’s V103 radio station.

As Fader points out, Mane raps at one point in the song, “I feel like Tupac ’cause all eyes on me,” referencing Shakur’s final album All Eyez On Me, which he pays homage to in the title of his own new album: Everybody Looking.
Though it’s only appeared on the radio so far, keep an eye out for ‘On Me’ online.
Mane’s album is out July 22, not long before the 20th anniversary of Shakur’s death in September. Revisit his previous single ‘All My Children’ below.
