AceShowbiz - Snoop Dogg is continuing to celebrate the enduring legacy of his late collaborator, Tupac Shakur, through a special release from his Cali by Snoop wine brand. On March 10, the brand unveiled the limited-edition 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted wine, a California red blend that pays homage to the iconic rap duo’s 1996 collaboration of the same name.

The release marks a significant tribute to the historic partnership between these two West Coast hip-hop legends. The original 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted track was featured on 2Pac’s critically acclaimed album All Eyez on Me and remains one of the only music videos featuring both artists together.

Snoop Dogg expressed his sentiments about the milestone, stating, "It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since Pac and I got together to make '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.' Nobody did it like us, and I can't think of a better way to honor his legacy than with a drink." He added that the wine is ideal for sharing with loved ones and commemorating their friendship, inviting fans to join him in pouring a little out in remembrance.

In addition to the wine release, Cali by Snoop shared a heartfelt tribute video featuring Snoop Dogg recalling memorable moments with Tupac Shakur throughout the 1990s. The footage highlights their time together in the studio, their legal battles, and international travels. "In a lot of ways, we were the only ones that understood each other," Snoop reflected, concluding the clip with a symbolic gesture by pouring some red wine onto the floor in honor of his late friend’s legacy.

John Wardley, Senior Vice President of Brand, Innovation, and Partnerships at Treasury Wine Estates, the company behind Cali by Snoop, praised the collaboration. He said, "It's been an absolute privilege to work with Snoop Dogg and the Tupac Estate to develop a wine celebrating this historic collaboration, and worthy of two of Hip Hop's greatest Icons." Wardley emphasized that the Cali by Snoop collection always aims to challenge traditional wine culture, making this tribute a fitting way to honor the two legends.

Tupac Shakur tragically passed away in September 1996 after being shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He was hospitalized for six days before succumbing to his injuries. The 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted single was released just months before his death, in May 1996, marking one of the final projects he and Snoop Dogg collaborated on.

This special edition wine release not only celebrates their musical partnership but also invites fans to remember the impact both artists made on hip-hop culture. Snoop Dogg continues to honor Tupac Shakur’s influence through this unique tribute, blending their shared history into a collectible and meaningful product.
