Hail Mary - 2Pac & Outlawz - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Hail Mary" is a song from rapper Tupac Shakur's 1996 album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. Released posthumously in February 1997 under his Makaveli pseudonym, it became the album's third single after his murder in September 1996. The track features guest appearances by Kastro, Young Noble, Yaki Kadafi of Outlawz, and Prince Ital Joe. Producer Hurt-M-Badd crafted the beat in about half an hour, while 2Pac wrote and recorded his verses in a little over 20 minutes. It initially debuted on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart on January 4, 1997, peaking at number 12. Its lyrics reflect the rapper's inner struggles and his contemplation of violence, negativity, and spiritual seeking. "Hail Mary" also found its way into popular culture, featuring in films like Baby Boy (2001), where it underscored a dream sequence, and Creed (2015), as entrance music for the protagonist. It was also included in the compilation Greatest Hits (1998) and was remixed for the album Nu-Mixx Klazzics (2003).
