Universal Music recently announced that they plan on re-master and re-issue many of their ‘classic’ albums in their Hip-Hop catalog from their imprints Def Jam, Interscope, Priority and Virgin Records imprints. Re-Releases are coming from DMX (featuring a gold 2xLP & a clear with splattered ‘blood’ on the other 2xLP), 50 Cent, Slick Rick, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, N*E*R*D*, Eminem, Public Enemy, D12, Common, and most importantly, Tupac.
