Azz-Iz was interviewed in The Source and stated that the group were in fact broken up. This further complicated matters because group members were now upset at him for airing out their dirty laundry. However, this article is rather dated, and not only has Azz-Iz recorded the track 'Public Enemy Number 1' with Pacewon since then, nearly all of the Outz still remain in contact are close friends. The rumors of the Outsidaz demise are greatly exaggerated. While there is always some sort of drama involved with this groundbreaking group of Essex County battle MC's, they have held strong through over 15 years, before, during, and after fame and controversy. Recently, Pacewon stated through his MySpace page that The Outzidaz had new material coming soon. Also, Young Zee's MySpace page states that he is Young Zee of The Outsidaz.

Outsidaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got you lovin' our music
Niggas smoke weed and do drugs to our music
Girls like to fuck to our music
Niggas wild out and get lock dub to our music
It's no more love for the music
We share blood for the music
We bust slugs for the music
[Pacewon]
Talk about sex, packin' chrome, techs, hero' bones
And coked up white chicks that look like Sharon Stone
Washed up M.C.'s, whose styles have been grown
Like 40 years old, still pickin' average poems
[Young Zee]
And now it's on, ya niggas want to get beat
Just bring that shit around 20th Street
Don't get me wrong, thugs come hopin' to bust
But uncock their glock when they know this is us
And bitches, the girls keep the block jumpin'
Somebody get shot, they don't tell the cops nothin'
So keep on bouncin', rock a 3-5-7
[Pacewon]
That Biggie and Pac shit should of taught ya a lesson
[Chorus]
[Axe]
God yes, 'cause pain is the object
Watch 'em stay broke like elevators in the projects
Everything we did, we did it the hardest
This kid is retarded, hate all you want, we gon' get it regardless
Representin' Jersey, ain't no other state
Before the love and hate, huawk, spit in ya mother's face
Ya life, what a waste, grab a knife, cut a snake
No love the jake, I'm out to catch another case
[Yah Yah]
Outsidaz, only here to make their mark
And run around this world like it's Raceway Park
Crash and start, front, chased by NARC's
Five deep, smokin' four blunts, it ain't shit, take their heart
Never catch us, regardless of the etch-a-sketcher's
We out takin' vestes, makin' messes
[Axe]
To each is own, we settle beef wit chrome
Got niggas comin' out their Morese Malone
[Chorus]
[Rah Digga]
Now it's here like anything goes on the track
Harriett step up to bring real rhymes back
You know shit is bad when the rapper can say
They ain't even in the game for the lyrics anyway
Well that's okay, the underground stay shinin'
Those runnin' for the door gonna end up resignin'
And years later, I'm gonna still be the tighter
Majority's splurger, call it all the tax writer
[Nawshis]
It's the Outsidaz faculty
Throwin' up the finger in ya magazine
My click be pumpin' more whips than gasoline
In the Bricks we knowin' for stickin' shit and havin' warrants
For the props, we lick more shots than alcoholics
[Azz-Iz]
I call it living, Iz, makin' a killing
Off these twenties, I'm dealin' feedin' my children, Jesus is in 'em
Eager and willin' to put ya muthafuckas in the fetal position
[Denzy]
Deeper then listen, when the Outz come through
Niggas break dumb fool, pull out gun tools
Makin' motherfuckers run jewels
So the ending to the story, kid
The worries bid, more niggas will get fit to our music
[Chorus]
The Outsidaz's song "Music" discusses the impact their music has on listeners. The chorus highlights how people engage with their music, with some smoking weed and doing drugs while others like to dance, wild-out, or have sex to their songs. The lyrics indicate that music is not just a form of art but a way of life, with the Outsidaz willing to shed blood, bust slugs, and share blood for the music. The artists acknowledge the violence and drug culture present in their inner-city environment, but they also highlight how their music unites people.
The verses are shared between various Outsidaz members, with each rapper conveying a different message. Pacewon's verse critiques MCs who continue to rap despite being past their prime, Young Zee's verse focuses on the block culture and how their music creates a sense of community, Axe brags about their talent, while Yah Yah boasts about their resilience and ability to evade police. Rah Digga notes that in the music industry, some rappers are more interested in financial gain than writing meaningful lyrics, and Nawshis and Azz-Iz talk about the violence and struggles that they face daily. Finally, Denzy concludes that their music will continue to resonate with more people.
