AUSTRALIA: Many rappers such as the on and off again banned from Australia Snoop Dogg love the southern continent; but none in the past have set up a local record label let alone used their fame and success to further the local music industry.
The Outlawz, formed by the late Tupac Shakur, have done just that, forming Outlaw Recordz Australia.
"We plan to use this new company to not only further the Outlawz brand in Australia but to also help develop talent down there, as well as offer Australian's American products they may not have had access to in the past."
In addition to that Outlaw Recordz Australia will release a joint album between The Outlawz and local musicians that the group will record during their September tour and in the future plan on releasing more CDs from Australian musicians.
"America 2 Australia: The Best of the Best" will be a double-disc LP and also include a compilation of 14 accompanying music videos to be mainly filmed during the Outlawz Australian visit.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for Australian urban music, and for Australian artists to be a part of the movement that will carry on Tupac's legacy.
"They love and support real Hip-Hop and Australia really has great artists too," Young Noble states. "We are very excited about going back for this tour and looking forward to recording this album with all the top Aussie talent."
The group has joined forces with local Hip-Hop figures Rukas and Young Bleezy to form the new company. Rukas will serve as President and Co-CEO of Outlaw Recordz Austalia and Young Bleezy will serve as the Label Producer and Co-CEO.
