Tupac’s memory lives on and in celebration of his 40th birthday, rappers, singers and comedians are coming together to honor him. Headlined by Erykah Badu and hosted by Afeni Shakur and Mike Epps, the concert for the slain rap legend will take place on June 16th at the Atlanta Symphony Hall, with proceeds benefitting the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation for the Arts.

DJ Drama will be spinning and performing acts include Bun B, Meek Mill, Too Short, Roy Ayers, 8 Ball & MJG, and others that have yet to be named.

Erykah Badu spoke about the honor of being chosen to perform on the day declared as “Tupac Day” in Georgia’s DeKalb County at last year’s event.

“I am greatly honored to have been invited by Afeni Shakur to celebrate her son’s 40th birthday,” said Badu in a statement. “I do not take this honor for granted.”
