Game Pays a Heartfelt Tribute to Afeni Shakur

Game's affinity for Tupac is well known.

The passing of Afeni Shakur has a lot of people torn up, especially those who really rode for her cause.

Game is one of those people, and in honor of her death he dropped a song both in tribute to Tupac’s mother and all the moms out there for Mother’s Day.

Titled “Mama,” featuring Sonyae, the Compton rapper samples Tupac’s classic “Dear Mama,” and captioned the track’s announcement on Instagram with a message about it.

"I decided that I'd hit the studio, be the voice for us all & create my own song honoring not only mines & the late 2pac's mother, but all the mothers across the world," he wrote. "After hearing the news about Afeni's passing & reading about her struggles & triumphs on the Internet," Game decided to "be the voice for us all & create [his] own son honoring not only [his] & the late 2pac's mother, but all the mothers across the world."

“Mama” comes just after he released “Rest in Purple,” a tribute to Prince. Listen to Game’s latest song drop below.
