Twelve unreleased Michael Jackson tracks were discovered by a former California Highway Patrol officer recently in an abandoned storage unit. Gregg Musgrove, 56, was contacted by an associate about a storage unit he bought in the Van Nuys neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley. The unit belonged to music producer and singer Byran Loren at one point, though his current whereabouts are unknown, according to Musgrove. In the unit, Musgrove found 12 unreleased tracks from the King of Pop that he seemingly worked on between 1989 and 1991, before the release of Dangerous. “I’ve gone to all the fan sites. Some of [the songs] are rumored to exist, some of them have been leaked a little bit,” Musgrove told The Hollywood Reporter. “A couple aren’t even out there in the world.” Among the unreleased tracks, is a song titled “Truth Youth” which is seemingly a rap duet between Jackson and LL Cool J. “I’m listening to this stuff, and I would get goosebumps because nobody’s ever heard this stuff before,” Musgrove continued. After the Jackson Estate declined to purchase the tapes for unknown reasons, Musgrove explained that they still own the copyright, meaning they likely will never be released publicly.
