Havoc’s Brother: We Called Him Killa
Chapter 26
Life Is Tragic

This is Big Twins week over at Fantasy Record Label. I got the party started a few days ago by announcing how eagerly I am anticipating the Infamous In The Hood project.
Today, I am resurrecting the most complete research project I have ever endeavored.
The research project I am referring to is my attempt at documenting the songs that mention Havoc of Mobb Deep’s late brother. Of course, I am talking about the infamous “Killa Black.”
Chapter 26 is a song that I had not ever heard until about six months ago when I downloaded a mixtape from Datpiff.
The story started when I watched a video Godfather Part Three posted to his YouTube account.
I think the video is an interview Godfather did in France. This video is a must watch. I think it was filmed by one of the country’s top cinematographers.
During the video, Godfather mentions a mixtape he put out on Datpiff called Godz & Kingz.
Track number four is called “Life Is Tragic,” and Big Twins makes a pretty powerful reference to Killa Black.
There is something very important for me to note at this time. This is a well-known song that appeared on a compilation called Muggs Presents The Soul Assassins, Chapter 1. This compilation was recorded in 1996 and released in 1997. In addition to this gem of a song from Infamous Mobb, there is a cut by Mobb Deep called “It Could Happen To You.”
