A treasure trove of unreleased Michael Jackson recordings has been discovered in an abandoned storage unit in San Fernando Valley. The unit, previously owned by music producer Bryan Loren, contained twelve never-before-heard tracks dating from 1989-1991, prior to Jackson's Dangerous album.

The discoverer, Gregg Musgrove, found fifteen unreleased tracks:
- "Don't Believe It"
- "Seven Digits"
- "Can't Come Back"
- "Son of Thriller"
- "Truth on Youth"
- "She's Got It Baby"
- "All the Truth You Need"
- "Call It Off"
- "She Got It"
- "Man In Black"
- "Work That Body"
- "A Pretty Face Is"
- "To Satisfy You"
- "Pressure"
- "Serious Effect"
Several recordings include rare studio dialogue between Jackson and Loren, offering unique insights into their creative process. One notable discovery includes an unreleased collaboration featuring Michael Jackson rapping alongside LL Cool J.
While the Jackson Estate has officially declined to purchase the tapes, they provided documentation confirming they don't claim ownership. However, the letter specifies that any future buyer won't own the copyright to the recordings or compositions, making public release unlikely.
Musgrove plans to auction the tapes, which are expected to generate significant interest among collectors despite the release restrictions. Some tracks are completely unknown to fans, while others have only partially leaked online over the years.
