How SKG Ended Up on Tupac’s “Let Em Have It” — and the Left Eye Connection

One of SKG’s most important connections to Tupac Shakur can still be heard on one of the rapper’s best-known posthumous albums.

Helecia Choyce, professionally known as SKG, appears on “Let Em Have It,” released on Tupac’s 2001 double album Until the End of Time.

The official album credits identify SKG as a featured artist on the track, with Honey providing additional vocals and L.T. Hutton handling production.

But there is another chapter to the song’s history.

A separate remix of “Let Em Have It” features Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC, creating a rare connection between Tupac, SKG and one of the most recognizable female rappers of the 1990s.

During her interview with WorldWide Entertainment TV, SKG discussed how the record came together and the circumstances surrounding her appearance on a Tupac release.

SKG’s Place on Until the End of Time

Released in 2001, Until the End of Time became one of the most commercially significant projects released after Tupac’s death.

“Let Em Have It” appears on the first disc of the album with SKG credited as a featured performer. Spotify also lists the Hutch Mix under 2Pac and SKG, confirming the collaboration remains part of Tupac’s officially available catalog.

For SKG, the song became a permanent connection to an artist whose influence continued growing long after his death.

The album also featured several artists connected to different periods of Tupac’s life, including the Outlawz, Big Syke, K-Ci & JoJo and others.

The Left Eye Version

The story becomes even more interesting on the second disc.

A remix of “Let Em Have It” features Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, creating an alternate version built around another major female hip-hop voice of the era.

Left Eye had already become internationally known through TLC while also developing a distinct identity as a rapper, writer and solo personality.

That means one Tupac record ultimately exists in versions connecting him to two different women in hip-hop history: SKG and Left Eye.

During her WWETV conversation, SKG reflected on that connection as part of the larger story surrounding her time at Death Row Records and the music created around Tupac’s catalog.

SKG, Death Row and Suge Knight

SKG’s path to the Tupac record is closely connected to her history with Death Row Records.

She was part of the label during the post-Tupac era and has continued discussing her experiences with Suge Knight, Afeni Shakur and the complicated relationships surrounding Death Row.

Recent public material has also revisited why Knight selected SKG for a Tupac record, adding another layer to the history behind “Let Em Have It.”

Those stories matter because Tupac’s posthumous catalog was not simply assembled from untouched recordings.

Producers, executives and featured artists all played roles in determining how unfinished or unreleased Tupac material would reach the public after his death.

“Let Em Have It” offers a particularly interesting example because its different versions connect Tupac’s catalog to SKG, Honey and Left Eye.

More Than a Death Row Footnote

SKG’s contribution can easily become overshadowed when conversations about Death Row focus almost exclusively on Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Suge Knight.

But the album credits preserve her place in that history.

She is not simply someone who later spoke about Tupac.

SKG is an officially credited artist on a Tupac album.

That distinction gives her recollections about Death Row and the people surrounding Tupac additional historical context.

It also helps explain why her discussions about Afeni Shakur carry particular weight.

SKG has publicly credited Afeni with helping her during a difficult period after Death Row, and she revisited that story in her interview with WorldWide Entertainment TV.

Tupac’s Posthumous Catalog Continues to Reveal Stories

More than two decades after Until the End of Time was released, individual songs from the project continue to reveal connections between artists whose careers intersected during one of hip-hop’s most heavily documented periods.

“Let Em Have It” connects several of those histories at once:

Tupac Shakur’s unreleased recordings.

Death Row Records after Tupac’s death.

SKG’s career.

Suge Knight’s influence over the label.

And Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes’ place in hip-hop and R&B history.

For WorldWide Entertainment TV, SKG’s firsthand account adds context that cannot be found simply by reading an album track list.

Her story places the music inside the relationships and decisions that shaped how Tupac’s work continued reaching listeners years after his death.
