During his time in Baltimore, he honed his skills in performance and poetry in attending the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he struck up a friendship with Jada Pinkett Smith, who was also a student there.

In June of 2021, Pinkett Smith publicly posted to Instagram a poem he had penned titled ‘Lost Souls’ in honor of what would have been his 50th birthday.

The three-bedroom, two bathroom home is 1,798 square feet, according to the listing on Redfin, and legally zoned with separated utilities and meters.

The tenant on the first floor has resided in their unit for more than a decade and hopes to stay. The first floor, which is being rented at a rate of $750 a month plus utilities, includes a living room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen and family room, according to the listing. The unit has access to a yard in the back.

The Shakur Estate earlier this month announced that a touring museum exhibit titled ‘Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I’m Free’ will open in Los Angeles next year. The immersive experience will include handwritten lyrics from the rapper in a showcase of his life and legacy.

Kinfolk Management + Media Arron Saxe, who is working on the exhibit with Shakur’s estate, told the AP that ‘the whole point of this exhibit was to not only show the kaleidoscopic nature of Tupac, but also show how he is relatable.

‘There are incredible pieces of clothing. This exhibit is also a mix of contemporary art and technology too. Many of the artifacts have never been seen before.’
