The Outlawz

THE OUTLAWZ

The OUTLAWZ, first came into the game (music scene) in 1995. Back then, they were known as DRAMACYDAL and they were
featured on the single "Outlaw" from the 2Pac's album "Me Against The World." They continued to make a mark as Tupac's protégés and having been featured on several of his albums.

As Tupac's protégés and featured artists, the group signed to DEATH ROW RECORDS in 1997, where they recorded an untitled album
that was never released. After a stagnant three years and with Suge Knight, Death Row CEO, incarcerated, the group decided they wanted off the label. So what did they do? The OUTLAWZ sought legal action and applied for a temporary injunction, which released them from all ties to DEATH ROW RECORDS. Through this injunction the OUTLAWZ released their debut CD "RIDE WIT US or COLLIDE WIT US" on their independent effort OUTLAW RECORDZ, released in NOVEMBER 2000

The group returned to court on January 8, 2001 and received another injunction, which now severs all ties to DEATH ROW RECORDS.
When asked how they felt about getting the injunction, the group replied "Let's Go! We're ready to move on." And, move on they have... with albums sales to date reaching 95,000 and the Jersey Mob Compilation scheduled for release later in 2001.
