ALS signed “Tupac A. Shakur,” one page, 6 x 9, July 30, 1995. Letter "To Whom it may Concern," 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 light creasing. Tupac formally signed his infamous three-page handwritten contract with Suge Knight of Death Row Records on September 16, 1995, after beginning negotiations months earlier. In that contract, Tupac would authorize Knight to act as his manager and Kenner as his lawyer, an arrangement which his mother, Afeni Shakur, would criticize as a conflict of interest in her lawsuit against the label after Tupac's death. A fantastic handwritten Tupac piece from a critical turning point in his career.
