In the United States, an ex-policeman bought a warehouse that previously belonged to music producer and singer Brian Lauren, and found 12 audio cassettes there with recordings of unreleased songs by the King of Pop Michael Jackson. The Hollywood Reporter writes about this.
The tapes contain 12 tracks that were likely recorded between 1989 and 1991, former California Highway Patrol officer Gregg Musgrove said. There are also three song snippets and conversations between Jackson and Lauren.
“I listen to these records and I get goosebumps because no one has heard this before. It's incredibly cool to hear Michael Jackson talk and joke around," Musgrove said.

He also added that after he found the recordings, he visited all the fan sites dedicated to Jackson. “Some of the songs found are rumored to exist and some have been leaked online. Two of them did not see the light of day,” he told the publication. Among the unreleased tracks there is, for example, a song called “Don't Believe It”.
Another track is called "Truth on Youth," which appears to be a rap duet between Jackson and hip-hop artist LL Cool J, who previously said he recorded music with the King of Pop. The recording features Jackson rapping, making it "one of the most exciting" records, according to an article in The Hollywood Reporter.

Musgrove said he plans to sell the found recordings. To do this, he turned to the Jackson Heritage Foundation, but they refused to buy the tapes without explanation. They stated that they did not claim ownership of the tapes, but recalled that the copyrights to all Jackson's songs belong to them. The Hollywood Reporter writes that these recordings may never be published.
Now Musgrove wants to contact four major auction houses to sell the found tapes into private collections.
