Mopreme Shakur, (born 1969[citation needed] in New York as Maurice Harding) originally known as Wycked, is a West Coast rapper. He is the older stepbrother of slain rapper Tupac Shakur, and son of revolutionary Mutulu Shakur.
Mopreme's first appearance on wax, under the alias Mocedes, was on Tony Toni Toné's hit single "Feel's Good" in the year 1990. His first collaboration with his brother was on the single and video "Papaz Song", from the 1993 album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. He was an original member of both his Thug Life group, as well as a premier member of Outlawz. Mopreme dropped out of the group, but contrary to rumors, was never signed to Death Row Records; he also claimed that Suge Knight prevented him from seeing his brother.[citation needed] He can be seen being interviewed in the documentary Biggie & Tupac.
Mopreme has recently dropped the mixtape "Assassin & Mopreme Shakur Present: Black & Brown Pride", as a prelude to his album which is now due for release early 2007.
