Great-content handwritten letter, penned in bold blue ballpoint pen, and signed at the conclusion, “Tupac A. Shakur.” The one-page 6 x 9 piece of correspondence on lined paper is addressed "To Whom it may Concern” and dated July 30, 1995. The letter reads in full: "I, Tupac Shakur give David Kenner permission to recieve copies of my contracts and royalty statements, and also he has permission to negotiate on my behalf, However he may not close or finalize any deal without my approval. This is just a letter to authorize Mr. Kenner to negotiate on my behalf." Signed at the conclusion by Tupac, and countersigned by his friend Desiree Smith as a witness. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds and a small sliver of missing paper to upper right corner, affecting nothing.

The iconic rapper formally signed his notable three-page handwritten contract with Suge Knight of Death Row Records on September 16, 1995, though he had begun negotiations months earlier. In the contract, Tupac authorized Knight to act as his manager and Kenner—the man mentioned in the here-offered letter—as his lawyer. Accompanied by a sought-after full Beckett/BAS Authentication LOA, as the discerning contemporary music experts are very selective in which Tupac signed items they’ll officially certify. Desirable handwritten correspondence from a critical turning point in his career, and signed with his full formal name, “Tupac A. Shakur.”
