Rufus Cooper III (born March 21, 1978), also known by his stage name Young Noble, is an American rapper. Best known for being part of the rap group Outlawz[1]. Noble joined the Outlawz in 1996, shortly after the release of Tupac Shakur's imfamous diss record Hit Em Up, which the Outlawz were featured on. He was also the last member to be added to the group by Tupac himself, before the late rapper's passing.
Noble made his debut on Shakur's album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory on the songs "Bomb First (My Second Reply)", "Hail Mary", "Life of an Outlaw", and "Just Like Daddy".
On December 21, 1999, Shakur's album Still I Rise was released which consisted of material recorded with 2Pac and one solo song. Noble replaced Fatal's vocals on the songs.
Through the Outlawz and Young Noble's twitter pages, together they announced the release of two volumes of mixtapes titled "Outlaw Ridahz". Noble recently said on his official Facebook page that volume one would be dropping in January of 2012. He also said it would feature some of his mentor's Tupac Shakur's old affiliates, including Thug Life which was 2Pac's group before he created Tha Outlawz, Money B (who was a member of Shakur's old group Digital Undergound) and B-Legit who featured on Shakur's 1996 album on Death Row Records, All Eyez on Me, on the track "Aint Hard 2 Find".
