On Wednesday, June 16 rappers Rick Ross, Bun B, Too Short, Pill, and more will gather in Atlanta to perform at the second annual Tupac Shakur Birthday Concert.

The concert, which will also serve as a benefit, will once again be held at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

"As the sole member of UGK, I understand and accept the role of upholding a legacy,” said Bun B in a statement. “It's not an easy task, and I accept and appreciate the love and support for family, friends, fans and supporters alike. So I'm always ready to help uphold the honor of hip hop's fallen soldier. I take pride in standing and remembering Tupac, one of the greatest ever."

The event is presented by both comedian Mike Epps and Afeni Shakur, the mother of the late rapper.

“This charity event helps support the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Atlanta,” Mike Epps explained in a statement. “On June 16th, Ms. Shakur and I along with some of the biggest names in hip hop will celebrate Tupac's life, legacy and music! Don't miss it!”

Tickets for the second annual Tupac Shakur Birthday Concert are available for purchase for $25 and can be purchased at 16thOfJune.com or on site at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts.
