"When I Get Free" was one of the pre-title for a follow-up to "Me Against the World", that 2Pac planned about whilst he was in prison in 1995. He first choose "Supreme Euthanasia" in september 13, then "Euthanasia" in october 4, then "Euthanasia Supreme", and then "When I Get Free" in november. The tracklists 2Pac wrote show us this transition time between his first project while in jail and the real All Eyez on Me. Some tracks of these lists became songs for All Eyez on Me. Other have been shelved.
After finding his new title, 2Pac was still planning a compilation called "When I Get Free (1992-1996 Lost Tracks)", gathering all the old tracks he re-recorded or remixed when he signed up on Death Row. So this bootleg also contains all these early tracks from the first projects of AEOM.



september 13 : "Supreme Euthanasia" // october 4 : "Euthanasia"


october ?? : "Euthanasia Supreme" 1 & 2 // november : "When I Get Free"



It’s useless to think about reproduce exactly these tracklists. They have never existed like that and things evolued as quick as 2Pac was creating – i.e. each day.
