THE OUTLAWZ (E.D.I. MEAN): Born in Brooklyn I was pretty much born into it man, my mom used to listen to all the early hip-hop back in the 80’s so i was always listening to it and it was all around me so i was basically born into the game.
STREETSEEKERS: Who were your Influences when you was coming up?
THE OUTLAWZ (E.D.I MEAN): You know, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, N.W.A all them from back in the day i was listening to it all.
STREETSEEKERS: So how did The Outlawz come together?
THE OUTLAWZ: Well we all childhood friends one way or another whether it be from different circles or whatever some of us are related and some of us are high school friends that includes Pac, thats pretty much how it happened.
STREETSEEKERS: What was like to work with and alongside the legend that is 2pac?
THE OUTLAWZ: It something none of us will ever forget EVER, it’s hard to describe it like you gotta be there to know, the only way we can describe is, it’s like playing for the (Chicago) bulls and we all playing trying to win and we got Jordan it’s like damn we just look back like DAMN!!!

STREETSEEKERS: Can you elaborate on why you decided to call the tape Killumanati?
THE OUTLAWZ: Well as everyone knows it significant to us but, killuminati is a play on Illuminati which stands for fear and it holds this hold stigma and its a scary thought for alot of people hence the halloween release date for the mixtape.

It’s a new sound a more mature sound for us and we real excited and looking forward to it all getting wrapped up, we not gunna sit here and say it hot because everybody be saying that when there new product drops but we are definitley proud of it and we think the fans will enjoy it. We dropped it around March/April of this year.
STREETSEEKERS: How would you describe the single 100 mph?
THE OUTLAWZ: Well it’s definitley part of our new sound our new mature sound you know. It a song for the clubs and it a song for when the weather nice and you wanna drive around with the speakers up and the top down.
STREETSEEKERS: You say you have a new and more mature sound can you tell us more about that?
THE OUTLAWZ: Well no intelligent person will stay the same and we are no exception, you gotta change up and try new things, i mean there is always gunna be things you can talk about like money, crime politics and whatever but don’t be expecting to hear old drama because that’s dead and gone.
STREETSEEKERS: What advice can you give to any up and coming artists?
THE OUTLAWZ: Yeah, you gotta get yourself out there but be an individual and just do you and don’t be out there doing it for money you gotta be out there doing it for passion.
