Don and Young Noble came out on top and laid down the single with Tupac in 1996. While songs like “Letter to the President” and “The Good Die Young” featured five verses and even more members, production for the single limited the group to only two verses. The album’s single “Baby Don’t Cry (Keep Ya Head Up II)” also marked the first time the Outlawz had to compete internally for spots on a record.
