Bonus Tracks :
After the violent deaths of Tupac in September and Kadafi in November, Fatal ran away from Death Row and left the Outlawz (they were then ending their album, cf. Retribution). He said that he was then close to suicide. He returned to the anonymous hip hop life in New Jersey.
There is no 2Pac/Outlawz presence here. Only some titles can remind of the Death Row adventure : "M.O.B." that was often claimed by 2Pac in his tracks with the Outlawz, "Ghetto Star" that was the planned title for the last 2Pac/Outlawz album before Pac's death, and of course "Outlaws". You can hear here and there some excerpts from his old Outlawz verses.
In this early promo cassette, you can see the Outlawz name biffed,
"Shit Goes on" as side B last track, and a mysterious "Staring at the World"
"Shit Goes on" as side B last track, and a mysterious "Staring at the World"
(The Pac/Outlawz known song doesn't include any Hussein verse...)
Could it be the diss track "Niggas in the Street" ? Not sure...
Freddie Foxxx and Mac Mall who are well known and have already worked with 2Pac in 1993-1994 ("(Don't Fuck Wit' a) Killa" and "Dusted N Disgusted", "Amerikkka Eatz itz Young"). Apart from Baby Paul of the Beatminerz who is famous for his work with the Boot
Camp Clik, especially for the Smif N Wessun superhit "Wrekonize Remix", people who are working here with Fatal are new to Pac fans and unknown.
In fact, the other names there are people from New Jersey. The New Jersey Mob is a supergroup that will be close to the Outlawz (Dirty Bert was also a member from the underground group The Antidote). The Artifacts (Tame One, El Da Sensei & DJ Kaos) was a famous underground group who released two beautiful albums, especially the classic Between a Rock and a Hard Place (in 1994, Big Beat, featuring Redman, Busta Rhymes, produced by Buckwild and T-Ray). In second album That's Them (1997, Big Beat, featuring Lord Finesse, Lord Jamar, produced also by Shawn J Period), you can also see production by Reef, Baby Paul & Mr Walt (from Da Beatminerz) and Courtney Burgess.
