A vault located in music icon Prince’s Paisley Park estate is rumored to hold over a century worth of music that was mastered by Prince before his early death.

PRINCE’S MUSIC VAULT

The storied vault featuring thousands of secret songs, albums and movies, has been the source of much speculation among fans.

“I know there’s a lot of material in the vault that never got released,” Prince’s longtime friend and sound engineer David Rivkin told the Daily News.

“We used to do two songs a day, and he just put them away,” he said. “Maybe he instructed his lawyers to never release them. I hope that’s not the case. I’d like to see some of them come out, a lot of them were pretty great.”

It is also rumored that about 70% of Prince’s music has never been released.

Investigative reporter filmmaker Mobeen Azhar also confirmed that the treasure trove exists last year in his documentary, “Hunting for Prince’s Vault.” The reporter spoke with lawyers, managers, engineers and musicians to get any details about the hidden vault.

“There is enough unreleased studio material for him to put out an album a year for the next 100 years,” Azhar told the Daily News.

“There’s a wealth of material in there,” he added. “He had entire promotional videos for songs that were never released, and also two feature length movies that are in the vault, as well.”

Susan Rogers, Prince’s former recording engineer revealed to Azhar that she started the vault in 1983.

“I wanted us to have everything he’d ever recorded. I called up the studios he’d been using and said: ‘Have you got any Prince tapes?’” she told Azhar, saying there were 2,000 unreleased songs when she left in 1989. “This is his legacy. We need to protect these things.”
