Tragedy Khadafi- The Death Of Tragedy


So your straved for a politically concious, lyrically capable, New York bred MC. You need never look any further than the man known as Tragedy Khadafi. In his latest offering, Trag gives us what we've become so accustomed to recieving from him; hard hitting lyrics that come with a sharp pointed sting of truth that cut in at every vocal stab. It pains me to know so many kids that grew up on Pac's music never got around to checking out this guy's stuff, because to me Trag's style always bore a close resemblence to Pac's. When it came to their ideas about society and their "revolutionary" mindsets the two were on the same page. Thug Life and The Foul Mothi were connected by the virtues in their music, and the pitfalls of their communities. And these commonalities didn't come after Pac died, oh no, Trag was already maintaining the same mental and societal outlooks as Pac while they both were alive, before either of them had any noteriety. All that being said Trag is a much more of a versatile MC, and Pac never had his vocabulary. I think Trag's work ethic is catching up to Pac as well, considering he's been hitting the people consistently with new shit for the past two years now. The Death Of Tragedy comes at a time when NY needs a new voice to guide them out of the present state of confusion. Who better than a veteran of both games (you know what I mean) and a cat who held shit down for dolo ever since the early nineties. On The Death Of Tragedy we find many lyrical gems as well as some good old fashioned straight talk. The Production shimmers as Trag rhymes over the underground's elite in Scram Jones, Alchemist, 4th Disciple and Havoc, but surprisingly and rightfully in my opinion Trag entrusts the bulk of the beatsmithing to his fellow Queens natives. Qb's own dynamic production duo Now & Laterz and the one man wrecking crew known as GQ Beats handle 9 out of the 16 tracks on this album, and they come through in a big way, especially Now & Laterz, who I have always liked, ever since they did a few ridiculous tracks for Bars n' Hooks. This is another can't miss effort for Trag. Tracks to check for are "G Formation", "The Truest", "Milk Murder" and "Intimate Vision".
