Young Noble of the Outlawz has tragically died by suicide, forsaking a legacy of lyricism and a haunting closing message.

Rest in Power: Young Noble of the Outlawz

Hip-Hop continues to be mourning the tragic lack of Young Noble, a member of The Outlawz. They had been Tupac Shakur’s legendary rap group that carried the flame from the Nineties and past. Nob’s passing, sadly confirmed as a suicide, leaves behind heavy hearts. On prime of that, we now have deeper questions on psychological well being in our neighborhood.

To me, Noble at all times stood out. He was extremely lyrical, had a definite voice, and will actually speak that speak. His pen was sharp, and he was by no means afraid to talk his reality by means of music.

Before we go additional, let’s acknowledge this: we now have to have a severe dialog about psychological well being. We’re shedding far too many individuals in far too some ways and it’s usually those we predict are the strongest who’re carrying the heaviest burdens. My brother Chino XL involves thoughts as effectively on this regard.

In his closing moments, Noble left a message on Instagram. Whether it was for himself, or for the folks he knew cared about him, it’s there. And possibly—simply possibly—it will probably nonetheless encourage somebody. I hope it does.

What a few of you won’t know is that the Outlawz had been the very first group to promote on AllHipHop again once we launched. We go approach again. They had been indie, recent off Tupac’s demise and nonetheless making waves. They had been dope then, they usually stayed dope. Although They had been in Pac’s shadow, the integrity was there. They had been and are good folks. They supported the platform.

Noble went out simply how he wished. Lots of people didn’t agree along with his Nas diss document and actually, neither did I. But that monitor was laborious. Whether it was the ache or the eagerness, it stood by itself two. Clearly, he was coping with greater than the music confirmed.

We might study extra in time. But for now, let’s have fun the person, the MC, and the influence he had.

Rest in peace, Young Noble. You left an indelible mark on the tradition of Hip-Hop. You can be missed, King.
