The Outlawz Return With Their New CD, "Outlaw 4 Life 2005 A.P." - Released April 18, 2005

New CD features Production by Focus, The Legendary Traxster, Dani Kartel and A.D. Future

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- The Outlawz announce the release of their new album 'Outlaw 4 Life 2005 A.P. due in stores April 19, 2005 on 33rd Street Records. This explosive new album is executive produced by The Outlawz and features production by Focus, The Legendary Traxster, Dani Kartel, and A.D. Future.

Originally assembled by Tupac in the mid-1990s by pulling members from a number of his affiliate groups, the Outlawz were set to be the biggest supergroup in rap history. But that dream suffered a number of setbacks, as Tupac and Kadafi were killed and Fatal and Napoleon left the group. By 2003, the group had released a string of hit independent projects and had appeared on albums that had collectively sold more than 40 million copies. Nonetheless, the group The Outlawz had become just Kastro, Young Noble and E.D.I..

One thing you wont hear on the new Outlawz album is Tupac. Plenty of other material with Tupac and the Outlawz, including the platinum plus 'Still I Rise album, exists. Therefore, the group wanted 'Outlaw 4 Life to be their moment in the spotlight. Its time for us to stand up on our own," Noble says. Pac did enough for us. He gave us the blueprint. Were talented and we dont need to have Pac on the album. People want to hear some new Outlawz stuff and they want to hear us on their own."

The Outlawz show throughout 'Outlaw 4 Life that they are also the total package. They get gangster on the searing Let It Burn," team with Bun B (UGK) on the pounding Big Ballin" and kick street lessons on Ghetto Gospel Pt 2." The latter includes pointed, insightful lyrical food for thought about the risks that come from life in the streets.

It is that type of insight that makes 'Outlaw 4 Life such a significant album, as the group explores lifes highs and lows throughout each of the albums 17 songs. Cuts such as Celebration" and These Are The Times" best illustrate the Outlawzs brand of music with meaning. Were not concentrating on rapping for other rappers or rapping for the girls," Noble says. Were trying to make real substance with everything we do. We were taught by the best and we cant have it any other way."

Indeed, the Outlawz are already gearing up for the release of its next album, 'Chapter 2 The Rebirth,, later this year and are setting up their new artist Stormey. With each step, the Outlawz work on healing the pain they have endured throughout their remarkable career. It is one reason why 'Outlaw 4 Life sounds so therapeutic.

Everything we do is therapy," Noble says. Everything we go through, we put it into our music. We learned that from Pac. Thats what music is about, experience. Thats why some people will rather listen to oldies that whats out now. Its timeless when it comes from the heart. Were trying to make music like that." 'Outlaw 4 Life does just that.
