Musical artist

**Bruce Edward Washington Jr.** (April 3, 1973 – July 10, 2015),[2] better known by his stage name **Hussein Fatal** or sometimes as **Fatal Hussein**, was an American rapper, best known for his collaborative work with [Tupac Shakur](/source/Tupac_Shakur) as a member of the rap group [Outlawz](/source/Outlawz).

## Early life

Fatal was born Bruce Edward Washington Jr. in New Jersey on April 3, 1973.[2]

## Career

Washington first appeared as "Hussein Fatal" in February 1996 on the songs "[All Bout U](/source/All_Bout_U_(2Pac_Song))" and "When We Ride" from Shakur's album *[All Eyez on Me](/source/All_Eyez_on_Me)*. As a member of the Outlaw Immortalz, his name was chosen to evoke a villain, Iraqi president [Saddam Hussein](/source/Saddam_Hussein).[4][5] In June 1996, he was featured on Shakur's song "[Hit 'Em Up](/source/Hit_'Em_Up)", insulting Shakur's rivals in the song's second verse.[6]

After 2Pac died in September 1996 and Outlawz member [Yaki Kadafi](/source/Yaki_Kadafi_(rapper)) died in November, Washington did not appear on another recording until 1998 when [Relativity Records](/source/Relativity_Records) released his first solo album *[In the Line of Fire](/source/In_the_Line_of_Fire_(Hussein_Fatal_album))*.[7] The label went bankrupt; the album wasn't promoted and sold poorly.[8] Washington did not appear on the [Outlawz](/source/Outlawz) debut album, *[Still I Rise](/source/Still_I_Rise_(album))*.[9]

Washington then signed with [Rap-A-Lot Records](/source/Rap-A-Lot_Records) and began work on a second solo studio album, *Death Before Dishonor*, recording over 40 songs before being arrested in December 1999 for an assault committed three years earlier. Rap-A-Lot Records released the album as *Fatal* after he was paroled in 2002.[10]

Around 2003, through his affiliation with Rap-A-Lot, Washington began associating with [Irv Gotti](/source/Irv_Gotti)'s [Murder Inc. Records](/source/Murder_Inc._Records). That year, Washington performed on four songs of [Ja Rule](/source/Ja_Rule)'s album *[Blood in My Eye](/source/Blood_in_My_Eye)*: "The Life", "It's Murda (Freestyle)", "The Wrap (Freestyle)" and the eponymous title track, "Blood in My Eye". He also made a cameo appearance in the music video for *[Clap Back](/source/Clap_Back)*, and appeared on the remix of [Ashanti](/source/Ashanti_(singer))'s "Rain On Me".[11][12][13] [14]

Washington performed again with the [Outlawz](/source/Outlawz) on their 2010 mixtape *Killuminati 2K10* and their 2011 mixtape *[Killuminati 2K11](/source/Killuminati_2K11)*,[15][16] and on the 2011 album, *[Perfect Timing](/source/Perfect_Timing_(Outlawz_album))*.[17][18][19] He also appeared on the tracks "Emancipation" and "Welcome To Real Life",[20][21] from fellow Outlawz member [Young Noble](/source/Young_Noble)'s 2012 album *[Son of God](/source/Son_of_God_(Young_Noble_album))*.[22] He continued to release mixtapes on his own label, Thugtertainment, until his death.[23]

## Death

Washington was killed in a traffic collision in [Banks County, Georgia](/source/Banks_County%2C_Georgia), on July 10, 2015. He was 42 years old. His girlfriend, Zanetta Yearby, was charged with [DUI](/source/Driving_under_the_influence), first-degree [vehicular homicide](/source/Vehicular_homicide), and [reckless driving](/source/Reckless_driving).[24]
