Tupac Shakur was taken from hip-hop more than 20 years ago, but his impact is still as potent and as palpable as ever. Hitting theaters on what would’ve been the rapper’s 46th birthday, director Benny Boom gives fans a sneak peak with a second full length trailer to the highly anticipated film All Eyez On Me.

Starring Demetrius Shipp Jr., who bears and uncanny and almost eery resemblance to Tupac, in the two minute and 30 second clip fans see a young ‘Pac sitting in the audience of a Black Panther meeting, then him in his teenage years witnessing police brutality, the first time he enters the recording booth all the way up to his fame, jail time and unfortunate death.

The star-studded cast working alongside Shipp include The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira as Afeni Shakur, Kat Graham as childhood friend Jada Pinkett, and Jamal Woolard who plays friend turned foe, Biggie Smalls.

Watch the full trailer below. All Eyez On Me hits theaters on Tupac’s birthday, June 16, 2017.

Moviegoers are counting down the days to the premiere of Tupac’s long-awaited biopic, All Eyez On Me, and to assist in promotion of the film — due June 16 — the reel’s handlers dropped another trailer, briefly revealing Pac and Biggie Smalls’ interaction.

The slain lyricists both reigned as kings of their respective coasts, influencing waves of rappers that still study their music in present time. Both legends lost their lives in separate shootings, Biggie in 1997, and the “Ghetto Gospel” MC in 1996. Their murders have yet to be solved.

The “Sky’s The Limit” artist will be played by Jamal Woolard, who stepped into the Brooklynite’s shoes for the Notorious biopic, released in 2009. In a previous interview with VIBE, Woolard said All Eyez On Me will be a box office hit. “I already know it’s going to do $100 million in the first week,” he said. “[And] big ups to Demetrius Shipp Jr. for doing the best [Pac] I have ever seen. I gotta give him the most praise.” Watch the trailer below...

With speculation surrounding the plausibility of a release date for the forthcoming Tupac biopic, All Eyez On Me, those attached to the film seek to place fans’ anxiety at ease.

According to Dominic Santana, who’ll portray Death Row Records co-founder, Suge Knight, the Benny Boom-directed film will be released on the “Dear Mama” rapper’s 46th birthday (June 16, 2017). On Instagram, the actor said they’re on track to meet the film’s debut, despite the controversy that has surfaced since dropping its trailer earlier this year.

“We’re all anxious for it to come out but people gotta remember it’s a major film and there’s a lot of process to releasing major films,” he wrote. “Because it was Tupac a lot of buzz was created word of mouth even while we were filming which usually doesn’t happen until a movie is about to come out. This was no regular movie so you’ve been hearing about it since we started.”
