HHS: Unfortunately Killa Black took his own life. I read somewhere that you said it was because of Havoc and P. Why?
Littles: Well, that’s the way they worded it. The whole thing is that when we (Killa Black and I)grew up we used to basically fund them. Like give them money for photo shoots and studio time. Then I went to prison and Killa Black was still home and they would go on tour and just leave him behind. They’d take like ten or fifteen people with them and leave him behind. And growing up in the projects in Queensbridge it’s not as easy as it may sound. Their is no outlets of income other than robbin’, sellin’ and stealin’, so it’s rough growing up. Then you have a brother who finally gets a shot at life through his own music. And this was Havoc’s career, we weren’t banking on them making it. This is what they established for themselves, ya know? So they’d go in stores and buy fifteen or sixteen leather jackets for everybody and nothing for him. Killa Black was catching a lot of homicides, but at the same time he was the most respectful person. If your mother was to meet him and if she heard stories about him, she wouldn’t even believe it. He was very respectful. But he was catching homicides, just stuck in the hood. So when he came home from the last homicide that he had he didn’t wanna live the streets anymore. He was Muslim. But he couldn’t get a job and he didn’t really have an outlet to succeed in any other kind of way. And then to turnon the TV. and see your brother and not have a quarter in your pocket, he
just couldn’t take it and committed suicide.
