Past JAY Z collaborator Rodolfo Franklin (aka DJ Clark Kent) says the rapper has a Tupac diss record that was never released because the late MC died shortly after it was recorded.

Franklin made the comments on this week's "A Waste of Time with ItstheReal" podcast while discussing the recent feud between Drake and Meek Mill.

"[JAY Z] did a record going at Pac, but right as it was about to come out, son died," Franklin revealed. "We performed it though. You have the understand the chip that was on Jay's shoulder [was] so crazy it was like, he had to perform it. We was at the Apollo and he performed it and it was scathing. Crowds was like, 'Oh shit.' It was super hard. If he was alive, there would have no coming back ... To me, it was one of the hardest diss records I've ever heard."

The unreleased track would have served as JAY Z's response to Tupac's own diss cut "Bomb First," one of the last tracks ever recorded before the latter's death in 1996.
