Newark, New Jersey Hip Hop group The Outlawz has seen a revolving cast in their 15-plus year career. With E.D.I. and Young Noble remaining at the group’s core since its inception under the late 2Pac, members such as Napoleon, Kastro, Hussein Fatal and the slain Kadafi have been involved at different points – along with Thug Life’s Mopreme Shakur (“Komani”) and Big Syke (“Mussolini”).
According to a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, the present lineup of the Outlaw Immortalz features EDI, Young Noble and a return appearance from Fatal. Fatal was an Outlawz member prior to their 1999 debut, Still I Rise, and appeared on the high-profile diss record, “Hit ‘Em Up.” In the years since, Fatal has worked with artists such as Ja Rule, Jim Jones and Daz Dillinger. He released Born Legendary last year, while The Outlawz’ last studio album was 2008’s We Want In.
AllHipHop.com has album and feature information on the new album, The Perfect Timing in their interview with E.D.I.
