Killarmy (pronounced /kɪ.lʌ.ˈɑːr.miː/) is a hip hop group that is known through its affiliation with Wu-Tang Clan It is one of the earliest and most successful of the many Wu-Tang affiliates along with Sunz of Man.
It distinguishes itself from the other Wu-Tang Clan affiliates with gritty subject matter, differing from the standard subject matter of martial arts and M.C. skills common to Wu-Tang Clan and their affiliates and focusing on themes of military and combat, terrorism, conspiracy theories, but with a heavy dose of the Five-percenter philosophy prevalent in everything related to Wu-Tang Clan.
Originally consisting of New York emcees 9th Prince (RZA's younger brother), Islord, Dom Pachino, Killa Sin, and Ohio-based producer 4th Disciple; it added Beretta 9 (a.k.a. Kinetic 9) and ShoGun Assasson to its membership in 1996, also from Ohio.
