Killarmy released numerous singles from 1995 to 1997, including "Swinging Swords" and "Camouflage Ninjas" as well as the Sunz Of Man collaborations "Wake Up" and "Soldiers of Darkness". The album Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars was released in 1997 just after the release of the Wu-Tang Clan's second album, as well as a 12" single containing two tracks from the album, "Wu-Renegades" and "Clash of the Titans". Shortly after the group's manager General Wise was shot dead in Steubenville, but the group pressed on undeterred, appearing on the Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm compilation and each making numerous appearances on other Wu-Tang projects from the Clansmen themselves and from other affiliates. The group's second album Dirty Weaponry was released in 1998 and the third, Fear, Love & War was released on September 11, 2001. In 2002, the group received some controversy following the Washington D.C. sniper attacks. On an episode of Tim Russert's Meet the Press, Russert and Montgomery County police chief Charles Moose stated that Killarmy influenced the shootings, and referenced a number of lyrics to support the claims. Despite the press attention, nothing materialized from the accusations. In 2002, Dom Pachino became the first group member to release a solo album, with Tera Iz Him. 9th Prince followed in 2003 with his solo debut Granddaddy Flow. ShoGun Assasson is rumored to be the next member to release a solo album.

9 killa, sin dom, pachino word, up Shogun
the assasson all, is fair in love and war Yo
the, saga carries on word, up military, time I
pit fights jet black acts with fat ass kicks That's
the shit right We
jettin' to the roof for the tre duce Aimed
at jesus residentials, that let loose at spent shells We
share a giggle and a heineken We
sitting on the corner with my niggas yelling Killa
kick the rhyme again Yo
so, then I bust 'em down with verbs and nouns Bombing
they brain cells like herb Words
attacking like a german hound We
spark a freestyle session With
a beef and forks ( )? collection Full
moon yeah kid no question Yo
the cipher's over now par bay ( )? and star play Ring
around the hosey and mosey Down
to tarjay for marge-ay Crazy
dick bitch who suck dick On
the down with his sheisty ass click from tre pound clown This
is an ordinary day around my way When
niggas spray shots killer, straight shots and, hit up gay cops I
attack shit move with your shots call the medic Beretta
9 my chamber be pain no anesthetic Nightmares
visions of death Catch
a flashback This
gunfire out of control I'm getting sent back Hell
no pave, my way back to the foxhole for ammo In

cock back releasin' all shit for the boot camp Plus
worker laying in dirt thinking the earth dead Adrenalin

how I came to bomb your regiment Beretta
9 my chamber be hard like rock sediment Blast
on herds shake, serbs with deadly words The
pain's intense like I'm swinging on your nerves Push
the trigger Suddenly
it bring you clarity Nights
like day magnified Three
point two time design Combine
with steel wind to blow your mind Counter
terrorism with precision Armed
with smoke bombs to blow your vision like cataracts My
green team attacks your format My
manifold is combat On
wargrounds or on dats It's
my nature killarmy legislator Leavingi
broken arrows in backs of traitors My
platoon's filled with black berets and painted faces High
speed car chases and soldiers with war faces Specially
trained in rugged terrain grains of the earth Hot
cold and humid temperatures that make barometers burst Who
came first God or the universe Uniting
energy through my tongue and through the sun War
is never pretty But
there is something dirty and disturbing about today's World
conflict because, today's battles are fought with the Dark
heart of terrorism Uh
it's, very hard to maintain the emotional and political Zeal
that is needed to kill lots of people You
been to shogun's realm I
stand as a military helm Gone
on a world war tour I
catch a flashback from iraq That's
when I start terrorizing tracks Killing
mc's with platinum stacks and death wax My
torture chamber's filled with anger The
executioner of lucifer Swords
chop razor sharp like the blade of excalibur Slashing
at your fat jets you do or die Men
before parachutes see with wounded eyes I
be your war God to the dark side Witness
how soldiers fall and die Lives
are being lost Around
the globe each flashpoint has it's own personality A
border dispute here a, displaced homeland there A
greedy politician or drug lord almost everywhere But
whether the location is south america or south yemen there is a Connection
between many of these struggles They
are angry conflicts of desparate people Who
feel they have neither the resources nor The
clout to fight their enemies at the negotiating table So
they take their negotiations to the streets
