Napoleon, formerly of the Outlawz, spoke openly about leaving the music industry after converting to Islam. He explained that he would rather be dead than go back to music, which Napoleon said impedes him being able to follow his religion the way he sees fit.

During the conversation, other Outlawz members Young Noble and E.D.I. Mean spoke about making “grown man rap” and moving away from cursing and rapping about the streets in their more current projects. To hear more of what they had to say, hit the above clip.

“I’m so far ahead of my time; I’m bout to start another life/ Look behind you, I’m bout to pass you twice.”- Jay Z

“Youngins ice grillin’ me, oh you not feeling me/Fine, it cost you nothing/Pay me no mind”

“I’d rather die enormous than live dormant”

“They giveth and they taketh life is cruel that way/But even a broken clock is right at least two times a day”

“A wise man told me don’t argue with fools, cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who.”

“Swear to everything, when I leave this Earth, it’s gon’ be on both feet, never knees in the dirt”

“No one said it would be easy, n**** livin’ is work”

“I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying”
