50 CENT RAISES THE DEAD!!

The hot new kid on the block teams up with the deceased rapper...

50 CENT is to team up with deceased rapper TUPAC SHAKUR on a new track being engineered by a NEW YORK DJ WHOO KID.

Tupac's previously unreleased vocals were given to DJ Whoo Kid - who has an urban marketing and media services company in partnership with Def Jam founder Russell Simmons - by Snoop Dogg, and to create a mix-tape track with it he decided to draft in 50 Cent, who says in his track 'In Da Club' he wants his fans to love him like "they love Pac".

DJ Whoo Kid, a legend on the Queens mix tape scene, said he wanted the as-yet untitled track to surface on a mix-tape to coincide with the release of 50 Cent's album, 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin'', according to mtv.com. He said: "We're still working on it to make it a club banger. It's the old Pac, going crazy."

50 Cent's "collaboration" with [/a] last year, 'The Realest', was another of DJ Whoo Kid's brainwaves. The DJ, who is working on an album with [a] in Los Angeles, said the new track will probably remain on his mix tapes and will never see a commercial release.
