Mozzy links up with Ty Dolla $ign and YG for the song, "Thugz Mansion" to pay homage to Tupac Shakur on the 22nd anniversary since his untimely death. The trio serves up a visual for the third single off of Mozzy's long-awaited album, Gangland Landlord. On the song, Ty Dolla $ign holds down the hook as he interpolates the original hook on 2Pac's "Thugz Mansion" that was initially sung by J. Phoenix. Mozzy holds down the first verse before passing it over to YG. Ty Dolla $ign also holds down the bridge on the song as well.

"Watching Tupac struggle and then overcome the struggle was one of the main reasons I idolized him growing up," Mozzy told Billboard about the song.

The music video for Mozzy's new song opens up at a funeral with everyone dressed in all white. The rapper taps Demetrius Shipp Jr who played Tupac in the All Eyez On Me video to play the legendary rapper in the music video.

"Thugz Mansion" serves as the third single off of Gangland Landlord.

Quotable Lyrics
You got respect for the hustle if you been homeless
Now I'm in the foreign, this factory clear coated
Where the mansion for thugs, I'm tryna slither
Gotta be a felon, the energy's real n***as
