Album Notes

Final Outlaw is an American born recording artist. During childhood he spent some time moving around the east coast due to poverty/personal issues shared within his family, but was ultimately raised in New York City. Exploring street-life as a teen he discovered the joys of freestylin’ and battling among friends throughout Washington Heights, Harlem and Dyckman in Manhattan.
