Community Answer

Thug Life's first song “Thug Life (2Pac Version)” released in 1994.


Thug Life was an American hip-hop group formed in 1993 by 2Pac. Thug Life consisted of 2Pac, Big Syke, Macadoshis, Stretch, The Rated R, and finally, 2Pac’s half-brother, Mopreme.

The group only released one album, Thug Life: Volume 1 in 1994, which sold gold.

After 2Pac died September 13, 1996, the group slowly disbanded.
