"We are delighted to
have this item in our sale, it's a really unusual item," says Sotheby's
expert on books and manuscripts, Gabriel Heaton.
"Tupac is a fixture of enormous popularity and great
cultural significance, so we are confident there'll be a lot of interest."

The lyrics include Ambitionz Az a Ridah, described as “the first
track he ever laid down after being released in 1995 and the opener for his
fourth album All Eyez on Me, released four months after he left prison. Recall
that Tupac served a sentence for sexual assault.
