Against All Odds is the third solo studio album by the hip hop artist Tragedy Khadafi.[1] The album was released in 2001 after much delay, and included his 2000 single "Bing Monsters".[2] The album reached #9 in the Billboard Top Heatseekers (Northeast) Album Chart.[3] Tragedy "dissed" his then-former friend Noreaga on the tracks "Crime Nationalist" and "Blood Type", accusing him of stealing his rhyming style and even his hooks. They have since reconciled.
