Overview
- Netflix released a trailer on Nov. 11 and confirmed the series will premiere globally on Nov. 27, 2026 as a four-part video podcast event.
- The program uses previously unreleased portions of Angie Martinez’s 1996 sit-down with Tupac Shakur recorded months before his death and never before made public in full.
- Martinez will play the original reel-to-reel tapes in studio sessions where a rotating panel of figures such as Dream Hampton, Joe Budden, Charlamagne Tha God, RZA and others react and discuss the material.
- Martinez says she withheld the full interview for nearly 30 years because parts could have 'hurt people' and escalated East Coast–West Coast tensions, and she framed the Netflix format as a way to share the tapes with added context and care.
- The announcement follows recent legal developments in the Tupac murder case that renewed public attention, and the newly available tapes could alter how fans, journalists and scholars interpret Tupac’s final months and the mid‑1990s hip-hop climate.
