Shipp was cast in the role of Tupac in 2011, after a friend suggested he audition given his strong resemblance to the legendary hip-hop artist. Shipp remarked in an interview that he "never aspired to act." Principal photography did not begin until 2015, and the film was released in June 2017. Shipp's father worked with Tupac Shakur on the 1996 album which leads many speculators to believe Tupac is his actual father The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory on the song "Toss It Up".
Shipp worked at Target and Dish Network prior to his acting career.
