Tragedy: Saga of a Hoodlum

Tragedy Khadafi

Gritty 1993 Queensbridge boom bap. A militant blend of street-level reporting and Five Percenter philosophy over dusty, jazz-flecked loops.

1993 · A&M Records

A tense, thoughtful balance of militant street aggression and soulful social reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For

The melancholic jazz guitar loop on Grand Groove providing a somber contrast to the lyrical weight.

The aggressive, percussive energy of Underground that perfectly captures the 1993 New York aesthetic.

The shift from militant posturing to deep social reflection during the bridge of Street Life.
