`Outlawis an artistthat produces his own music with his own original bass poppingbeats.Not only has he
established thathe can make amazingmusic,but he can actually writelyricsthatmake sense and reach out to
people. It’s fair to say that if he were to carry on down this route in music,let aloneget better at the same
time, he could be the rebirth and evolution of rap music.’ Statement made by Dr. Dre
Originally fromHarrowin London, United Kingdom, Ilia Perovic (Outlaw) is notyour stereotypical rap artist.He
actually camefrom a fairly wealthy background and an average family,as well as music notalways beinghis
main ambition and goal in life.In fact, Outlawwas an aspiringfootballer fromthe age of 6 and upwards,both
at a professional and semi-professional standard.Then one day,by sheer chance,he stumbled across a gift
that would lead him to great success in such a shortamount of time. At the age of 18, he was taken into a
recordingstudio with a bunch of older friends to simply bein the background of an underground grime single,
thus given the opportunity to `spitbars’.Perovic took the opportunity with open arms.`Legit now, he actually
took the mic from me and spatabsoluteflames! Who would have known that my young G could have done
that?’ statement made by Moses Butler, Friend of Ilia.
That same day, an agent happened to be in the recordingstudio, after failingto sign an artist,he stumbled
across Ilia.`His talentwas rich.I had never heard anything likethat before, and justthe ability hehad to
change his voicemid sentence in order to give the lyrics a whirlwind affectalmost,it was justamazing!All I
knew was this, I had to sign himthere and then before someone else did,and I had to get himreleasingmusic
ASAP.’ Statement made by David Francis,IliasAgent.
`The name OUTLAW actually camefrom my mum. Due to the factthat I used to get into a lotof trouble at
school,shewould constantly question me on whether I thought I was an Outlaw...It seemed to be the only
thing that clicked atthe time and sincethen, I have grown to love itand its stuck,and I wouldn’t change itfor
the world purely down to the fact that it keeps me completely level headed and keeps my feet on the ground.
It makes me remember that I came from a normal background and no matter what, I will always bethat same
boy who used to get into trouble at school.’
Outlawhas been on the music scene for less than a year now and he has already managed to sell over 60
million copies worldwideon justhis debut album`Evolution 2.0’, which has in factmanaged to go both
platinumand gold, meaning that Outlaw is one of the fastest grossingrappers in history for justa year.His
singles,`NukeHead’ and `Junky’ have been No.1’s Worldwideand have even been recognised by many rap
artists,likeKanyeWest and Eminem as the greatest material they have ever heard. So, by the looks of things,
Outlawseems to not only be fresh and promisingtalentin the music and rap industry,but an artistwho is now
here to stay and setting the bar for everyone elsein the industry.I guess it’s up to R-A-P magazine to keep
closetabs on this legend in the making, especially with his new albumbeing released next year.
