Hussein Fatal

Bruce Washington (born April 3, 1973), better known by his stage name, Hussein Fatal, is an American rapper and a member of Outlawz.

Murder of Tupac Shakur

On September 7, 1996, 2Pac was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting[1]. He died a week later on September 13, at the age of 25. Fatal had went back to New Jersey the day before to attend court. After 2Pac's murder, Yaki Kadafi also went back to New Jersey with Fatal; both of them believing Los Angeles held nothing for them without Tupac.

Only a couple of months later, on November 10, Yaki Kadafi was murdered at the age of 19. Having lost two of his best friends within two months, Fatal decided the rap game was more dangerous than the drug game. He went back to the streets and began selling drugs again, a decision that would later have a great impact on his career and life. After months of chaos, he decided to sign with Relativity Records. He released his solo debut, [1]In The Line Of Fire, in March 1997. Unfortunately, the label went bankrupt and the album received little to no promotion, resulting in poor sales.

Fatal then signed with Houston-based Rap-A-Lot Records – home to such legends as the Geto Boys, Gangsta Boo of Three 6 Mafia, Tear Da Club Up Thugs, and Scarface. He started working on his second solo album, Death Before Dishonor. He recorded over forty songs, including tracks featuring Fat Joe, Gang Starr, Gotti, Ja Rule, Lil' Mo, New Child, Outlawz, Rowdy Rahz and Scarface. Unfortunately, Fatal was arrested in December 1999 due to an assault charge from three years earlier. In 2001, he was released to a halfway house in New Jersey, and paroled in early 2002. On November 19, 2002, Rap-A-Lot Records released his second solo album, re-titled Fatal.

Murder Inc Records

In 2003, Fatal teamed up with Ja Rule whom he had known for some time; Fatal was supposed to be part of the original Murderer inc with Rule, Jay Z, DMX and Mic Geronimo before that project fell through. In November 2003 Ja Rule's fifth album, Blood In My Eye, was released. Fatal made guest appearances on four songs: "The Life," " Blood In My Eye," "It's Murda (Freestyle)" and "The Wrap (Freestyle). 3 songs on the album were diss tracks aimed at 50 Cent & G-Unit" He also appeared on Ashanti's "Rain On Me (Remix) and in Ja Rule's "Clap Back" video." Hussein Fatal was rumored to have signed with The Inc. Records

Recent years

Hussein Fatal has set up his own music label called Thugtertainment, he continues to release mixtapes which contain remixes of old songs by 2Pac, Outlawz and himself.
