In July, DJ Kay Slay released "Bury the Hatchet" featuring The Outlawz, a hip-hop group created by 2Pac, and Lil' Cease.

Earlier this month, The Outlawz spoke with HipHopDX about the song and how it came together.

DX: Did y�all reconnect to record this new song? Did y�all chop it up at all?

Noble: I had started choppin� it up with Cease like years ago. He had just so happened to call somebody that I was standing next to, and I got on the phone with him. And the initial phone call, it was pretty much � drama. We was at each other neck like, �We ever see each other it�s gonna be a problem.� But, in the process of the conversation, both of us being grown men, we actually started talking. His intentions was pure; mine was pure. And, we just basically stayed in contact over the years like, �It is what it is. We ever see each other it won�t be no gunplay and it won�t be no drama, and we�ll shake hands as Black men.� You know, we lost the greatest rapper of all time, and he feel the same way as far as Big. � So just as grown men, in moving on and trying to make the best decisions for us and our families and the people who follow us, we just decided it�s time to let the world know that we actually put this to [an end]. I really get tired of muthaf***** mentioning them two legends in the same breath and either disrespecting one or the other. The �Pac fans to this day will still go hard on the Big fans and vice versa. So, I just think it�s time for the Hip Hop community and the people who support and love both of them dudes [to] let that go and honor them for both of [their accomplishments]. And besides great rappers and artists, they was two intelligent black men that died too early. � So we just trying to be leaders and do the right thing.

E.D.I.: A lot of our fans [are] like, �Well, how can y�all do a song with Cease? He had said �Pac ain�t get shot five times.� Or, he was saying this and that. And I really feel like, during the heat of battle all kind of s*** gets said. Y�all heard �Hit �Em Up,� you heard what we said on it. Cease had to say what he had to say. But as far as right now, in 2011, we on that burying the hatchet s***, and so should y�all.
