Publisher's Note
An insider in the world of gangsta rap reveals his experiences, and the dark and violent underbelly of the music world that ultimately killed his charge, Tupac Shakur.

On September 13, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas. Millions of fans wept, while many critics claimed it was the inevitable result of a thugged-out lifestyle. The mystery surrounding the shooting--a suspect has yet to be named--has increased, and rumors of gang wars, and government conspiracies continue to linger. Only Frank Alexander, Tupac's bodyguard during the last year of his life, knows the real story. GOT YOUR BACK details the exploits of one of the most famous rappers of all time. The drugs, the women, the violence, the money--all provided fuel to the fire that was Tupac's life. As his two platinum-selling, posthumously-released albums prove, Tupac lives on through his music. Complete with an additional chapter of exclusive interview material with Tupac's mother, Afeni, GOT YOUR BACK provides an insider's view of a life gone awry.
