In power: The young nobles of Outlawz
Hip-hop is still mourning the tragic losses of the young nobles of Outlawz members. They are the legendary rap band of Tupac Shakur, carrying flames from the 1990s and beyond. Sadly, Nob’s death was considered suicide, leaving behind a heavy heart. Most importantly, we have deeper questions about mental health in the community.
For me, Noble always stands out. He is very lyrical, has a unique voice and can really speak. His pen is sharp and he is never afraid to tell his truth through music.
Before we proceed further, let us acknowledge this: We must have a serious conversation about mental health. We lose too many people in too many ways, which is usually the most powerful person we think is taking the heaviest burden. In this regard, my brother Chino XL also came up with it.
In his last moment, Noble left a message on Instagram. Whether it is for himself or the people he knows who cares about him, it is there. Maybe – maybe – it can still inspire someone. I hope to do this.

What some of you may not know is that Outlawz was the first group to advertise on Allhiphop when we launched. Let’s go back. They are independent, fresh Tupac’s death, still waving. They were the soup then and they kept the soup. Even though they are in the shadow of PAC, integrity remains. They are and are good people. They support the platform.
Noble went out what he wanted. Many people disagree with his NAS Diss record, and to be honest, I also disagree. Whether it is pain or passion, it stands on two aspects of itself. Apparently, he is dealing with more than what the music shows.
We may learn more in time. But for now, let’s celebrate the man, MC and his influence.
Rest in peace, young nobles. You have left an indelible mark on hip-hop culture. King, you will miss it.
