FinaL OutlaW – ‘FinaL OutlaW Theory’ & ‘Blacklisted’ (VIDEO)

FinaL OutlaW, the fiery wordsmith who we named one of the reasons why New York hip hop doesn’t suck, is not-so-quietly re-emerging onto the scene with his forceful brand of thought-provoking lyrics, passionate delivery and thumping beats, on full display in recent videos “FinaL OutlaW Theory” and now with “Blacklisted.”

Perhaps best known for his anthemic “Hip Hop 4Ever,” FinaL OutlaW has always rather expertly blended cockiness, social commentary and a love for hip hop music in nearly every project he’s delivered. He has recorded with other New York-area underground and independent favorites like Homeboy Sandman and often leaves a trail of wide-eyed listeners in his wake.

“FinaL OutlaW Theory” and “Blacklisted” are short but sweet (if you call boom-bap inspired, raw raps ‘sweet’… We do.) tastes of what is on the horizon for FinaL OutlaW, whose full length project Unstoppable Love is seemingly (and hopefully) forthcoming.

FinaL OutlaW continues to not suck, and as the chatter about New York hip hop reaches a nationally fevered pitch, we’re glad that one of the artists we’ve often used an example of NY-based hip hop goodness is emphatically back on the scene.
