The Outlawz are a cornerstone of late-90s West Coast hip hop and a lasting voice in the legacy of Tupac Shakur. Founded in 1995 by Tupac Shakur (Makaveli) and Yaki Kadafi, the group originally carried the Dramacydal name before evolving into Outlaw Immortalz and, eventually, The Outlawz. Known for their hard-hitting verses, collaborative energy, and relentless work ethic, they helped shape the era’s sound alongside 2Pac and a cadre of talented collaborators. Their work spans nine studio albums, numerous compilations, and influential soundtrack appearances that resonated with fans around the world.
