HinweiseTragedy began his career in the late '80s as a teenage MC hailing from the infamous Queensbridge projects, the same houses that would also birth Nas, Mobb Deep, Capone N’ Noreaga (whom Tragedy put on and mentored) and Cormega. He initially worked and recorded with QB producer/DJ/legend Marley Marl under the moniker Intelligent Hoodlum. Since the days of Juice Crew All-Stars, Tragedy has held it down as one of the most lyrical, consistent and versatile artists in the game. He possesses the ability to drop science, wisdom, knowledge and mathematics with a street gangster perspective and ghetto swagger and at the same time sound eloquent. 2006 sees Trag releasing Thug Matrix 2, a collection of his finest works, exclusives and freestyles and new joints in a whole new package! Joining Tragedy on this retrospective is Nas, Mobb Deep, Capone N’ Noreaga, Jadakiss, Styles P, DMX, Cam’Ron, Ma$e and more... plus production from Havoc, Alchemist, Scram Jones, Marley Marl.
