Rapper Fatal first surfaced as a member of the Outlaws, a collective organized by Tupac Shakur during his 1994 incarceration in an upstate New York prison cell. Also including rapper Khadafi, the Outlaws made their recorded debut on Shakur's All Eyez on Me album; however, after Shakur and Khadafi were both murdered in separate 1996 incidents, Fatal was forced to go it alone, signing with the Relativity label to release his solo debut In the Line of Fire. ~ Jason Ankeny
