On Suge's podcast Collect Call, Williams revealed that he's working on a posthumous Tupac album.

"What you got going on with some of those unreleases with 'Pac, s**t, you got me excited," the music mogul, who's currently serving a 28-year sentence for manslaughter, said.

"The different people you said you're going to put on there. I don’t want to let the cat out the bag, but it's unbelievable!"

Williams agreed with Suge's assessment, adding: "She is going to mix with him [Tupac] nicely."

The album will have eight features, with "only the best of the best" included, but the comedian was otherwise tight-lipped about what's to come.

Since Tupac died in 1996, six posthumous records have been released.

As far as Suge is concerned, though, only one produced by Eminem can claim not to have been a flop.

That's some heavy pressure for Williams and Cardi to deal with!
