In 2007 Philadelphia, specifically West and North Philadelphia
(respectively, West of the Schuylkilll River/U. Penn Campus, and
North of Girard Avenue), earned the nickname 'Killadelphia' from
averaging over 1 murder and 4 shootings per day.
The derivation, 'Killadelph' is a combination of 'Killadelphia'
and the nickname 'Illadelph' popularized by native Hip-Hop group,
The Roots; from the title of their third album 'Illadelph
Halflife'.
