| Bruce Washington was born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey. He grew up with his mother, brother and four sisters. After hearing rappers KRS-One and MC Shan lyrically battle on 98.7 KISS FM he found out what he wanted be - a rapper. He started freestyling and entering local talent shows, but at the same time he started getting into criminal activities including dealing cocaine. He joined The Plague, a group who was working with the then unknown The Fugees. Wyclef Jean did the chorus on their demo, but no companies were interested in it, so Washington left the group. |
| Clinton Correctional Facility where he was serving time for sexual abuse. He didn't believe him and it was never brought up again until Kadafi's mother, Yaasmyn Fula, mentioned it. Now he realized that Kadafi was serious. The next day, Washington visited Tupac. Before he had the chance to introduce himself Tupac asked him to rap a few verses. Soon he was a member of the group, the Outlaw Immortalz. The other members of the group were Katari (Kastro) Cox, Malcolm E.D.I. Greenidge, Mutah Napoleon Beale, Tupac and Kadafi. Tupac had given them aliases after political men hated in the America; he gave Washington the alias, Hussein Fatal which was later changed to Fatal Hussein after Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein. |
| Within two months, Fatal had lost his two best friends. He felt the rap game was more dangerous than the dope game so he quitted rapping. He was always drunk and high, he robbed people, and he started dealing cocaine again. He basically hit rock bottom. Slowly anger towards the other members of the Outlawz grew inside of him. He was at angry at them for various reasons; For not being there for Tupac on September 7, 1996, for forgiving Roddy for Kadafi's killing which Fatal didn't believe was an accident and for signing with Death Row Records even though Tupac told them not to.

He accepted it and they released his debut single, Everyday, on March 17, 1998 and his debut LP, In The Line Of Fire, on March 31 under the name Fatal, Hussein had been dropped from his name. They sold bad and Fatal himself admitted that he rushed it and could do better. He promises his second album will be better. |

A good example is when Fatal borrowed Tupac's new Land Cruiser without permission and totaled it. Tupac became so angry that he sent Fatal back home to New Jersey. This wasn't the first time, though. Tupac sent Fatal and Kadafi back home to New Jersey a lot of times for acting crazy. This time Fatal realized he really messed up. He asked Kadafi's mother to contact Tupac so he could apologize. The same day he received a phone call from his girlfriend who told him to return to California where he apologized to Tupac. On September 6, Fatal had to leave California due to a court appearance on assault charges. On September 7, Tupac was shot four times in a drive-by-shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. |
