Tupac Shakur

‘A reverential and exhaustive telling of Shakur’s story, leaning heavily on the perspective of his immediate family, featuring pages reproduced from the notebooks he kept in his teens and twenties. The biography’s publication follows "Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur," a documentary series that premièred, on FX, in April. Robinson was an executive producer on "Dear Mama," which drew on the same archive of estate-approved, previously unreleased materials as her book, and the works share a common purpose: to complicate Shakur without demystifying him.’

New Yorker

‘An incredible poet.’

Stevie Wonder

'A superstar in every aspect of the word.'

Eminem

'A touching, empathetic portrait of a friend. Even familiar stories achieve new intimacy at closer range. And small moments help clarify longstanding narratives, colouring in the outlines of this well-known tale of the actor-rapper-activist who died at 25… Access to the late rapper’s journals gives Staci Robinson’s authorized biography a rare intimacy.'
