The track “Killuminati” appeared on Tupac Shakur’s posthumous release with his collaborators The Outlawz, Still I Rise. These handwritten lyrics are for the first verse of the song, performed by Tupac, who also contributed to the chorus and the outro of this tune. Other contributors to the song include E.D.I. Mean, who rapped the second verse, and Yaki Kadafi, who spit the third verse. This song was produced by Tony Pizzaro, the co-writer and producer of arguably Tupac’s most iconic song, “Dear Mama”. Still I Rise was released in December of 1999, debuting at number seven on the Billboard Top 200 charts and later becoming certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

     These lyrics are working lyrics, written in black pen over the entire sheet of white notebook paper. The outro to this verse is different than the recorded version, reading “Thug Style Baby / Handz on my pistol listen I’m a rider / Every n***a breathin pay attention / I’m bout 2 show a picture / In the life of Big Shot Don / Droppin bodiez Killumin”. “Killuminati” is written at the top of this page by Tupac. This item comes with a LOA from JSA (Z42116), and a LOA from the original recipient of the lyrics, a friend of Shakur’s and fellow rapper Jermaine Carter.
