Is New Tupac Music Coming in 2026?

2026 is a heavyweight year in hip hop history. It’s 30 years since 1996, the era of All Eyez on Me and Makaveli, and the final stretch of Tupac Shakur’s life and recording run. As that anniversary lands, the same topic always comes back to the surface: unreleased 2Pac music.

Why people are focused on 2026

Fans connect 2026 to one simple idea: 1996 produced far more music than what the public has officially heard. So “30 years later” becomes a natural moment for the vault conversation to heat up again, especially around the All Eyez on Me / Makaveli era.

What E.D.I. Mean’s (Outlaw) interview talk is pointing to

The recent wave of rumours comes from short interview footage being reposted heavily online. In that viral moment, the interviewer brings up “Outlaw Pac” unreleased material and frames it as a real, unreleased Tupac song that most people haven’t heard.

“I was told that you guys have new Outlaw Pac unreleased material… it is a Tupac song that’s unreleased that most people haven’t heard…” E.D.I. Mean’.

That’s the key signal fans are taking from the clip: there is still authentic, unreleased Tupac audio connected to that era, and it’s being spoken about as something that exists now, not as a myth from the past.

Where the “30th anniversary release” idea comes from

The “2026 drop” angle is being pushed by the way the clip is reposted. Multiple posts package the interview with captions like “new unheard track on the way” and explicitly tie it to the 30th anniversary of All Eyez on Me and Makaveli. That framing is what makes people believe the anniversary is being used as the moment to open the vault again.

What fans want if anything drops

Across the fanbase, the demand is clear: if anything new arrives, it has to be real. Original studio recordings from Tupac’s own sessions, not AI vocals, not modern recreations, and not edits that blur the line between history and new production.
