Before he became one of the most influential voices in hip-hop, Tupac Shakur walked the halls of Baltimore School for the Arts as a member of the Class of 1989. In a new biography featured by The Baltimore Sun, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur, author Kevin Powell revisits Tupac’s formative years in Baltimore; his time at BSA, his artistic brilliance, and the city that helped shape his fire. It’s a powerful reminder that greatness often begins in the most intimate, creative spaces—like the classrooms and stages of BSA.
