Fear, Love & War is the third studio album by the American hip hop group Killarmy. It was released on September 11, 2001, through Loud Records. Recording sessions took place at 36 Chambers Studio in New York City. Production was handled primary by member 4th Disciple, as well as Falling Down, Mike "Trauma" D and Rebel Dainja, with the RZA and Divine surviving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Frukwan, Lord Superb, Polite, Prodigal Sunn, U-God and Madam Scheez. The album features the singles "Feel It" b/w "Militant" and "Street Monopoly" b/w "Monster".
While the album did not sell as well as the group's first two efforts, it received some critical acclaim, partly due to more mature and personal lyrical content, providing balance to the group's dark production, Five-Percenter militancy, and violent combat imagery. The album is now out of print.
