The connection between hip-hop and sports runs deep, and the latest collaboration between the LA Kings and the legacy of 2Pac is proof that the bond is alive and thriving. The special Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory – LA Kings Edition vinyl and an exclusive collection of limited edition 2Pac x LA Kings merchandise bring together two iconic forces in an unforgettable tribute to the legendary rapper.
March 15th Celebration at the Crypto.com Arena
The spotlight shone bright on March 15th during the LA Kings vs. Nashville Predators game at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. Fans not only showed up for the game but also got to celebrate the legacy of 2Pac in true style. His music and videos set the vibe throughout the night, with the standout single “To Live & Die in L.A.” becoming a permanent part of future LA Kings home game soundtracks.
What made this event even more special? Attendees had first dibs on Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory – LA Kings Edition vinyl and the exclusive 2Pac x LA Kings merchandise capsule. While the in-person drop was a hit, limited quantities of both the vinyl and merch are now available online, so no fan is left out.
The Legacy Lives On With Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
This isn’t just a collaboration; it’s a celebration of one of hip-hop’s most iconic albums, Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. Released posthumously on November 5, 1996, under 2Pac’s alter ego Makaveli, the album made history. It debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 charts and earned a 4x Platinum certification from the RIAA.
For this exclusive LA Kings edition, the album gets a fresh look while paying homage to 2Pac’s love for the team. Pressed on stunning black and silver vinyl to match the Kings’ colors, the album cover features an iconic 1991 photo of 2Pac rocking an LA Kings hat. Fun fact – this photo, shot by Peter Darley Miller, was taken during the same year the Kings clinched their only division title. The vinyl is now available online at shop.2pac.com and interscope.com.
