The legacy of iconic rapper 2Pac is being honored in a special collaboration with the LA Kings. Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory – LA Kings Edition and limited edition 2Pac x LA Kings merchandise were available Saturday, March 15, at the LA Kings vs. Nashville Predators game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. 2Pac music and videos were played throughout the game. Limited quantities of all items are now available online.
The LA Kings have selected “To Live & Die in L.A.” – one of the singles from Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory – as one of their game songs, to be played at all home games. Originally released on November 5, 1996, Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was recorded under alter ego Makaveli. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has been certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA.
Pressed on Kings-colored black and silver vinyl, Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory – LA Kings Edition features a classic photo of 2Pac, wearing his LA Kings hat, as the album cover. The image was captured by photographer Peter Darley Miller in 1991 – the year the Kings won their sole division title. Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory – LA Kings Edition is available online. For the merchandise capsule accompanying the vinyl, Interscope collaborated with New Era to recreate the hat from the photo and add 2Pac’s logo. Mitchell & Ness designed a t-shirt with the photo on it and a sweatshirt with 2Pac x LA Kings branding.
