Life Of The Infamous: The Best Of Mobb Deep [PA]

Performer: Mobb Deep
Producer: Mobb Deep; The Abstract; Alchemist
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: One of New York's most commercially underrated and consistent groups to survive the 1990s, Mobb Deep have made a profound impact on the hip-hop world from both lyrical and production standpoints since the duo came on the scene with their aptly titled 1993 debut, JUVENILE HELL. Over the years, Havoc and Prodigy have perfected the "grimey style" introduced on their definitive 1995 LP THE INFAMOUS MOBB DEEP--a style that made crews like Dipset and G-Unit possible, and prompted many veteran groups to make adjustments. The compilation LIFE OF THE INFAMOUS brings together 17 of Mobb Deep's most popular album joints, understandably focusing on the duo's long tenure with Loud Records (including key cuts from their 1995 classic sophomore album), prior to their move to G-Unit in 2005. This is an excellent introduction to Mobb Deep, and a nice mix for veteran listeners looking for the hits.

Hailing from New York City's notorious Queens Bridge projects, Prodigy and Havoc, a.k.a. Mobb Deep, took the hip-hop world by storm with the release of their second album, 1995's THE INFAMOUS. An instant classic, the album was filled with raw beats, dark hooks, and brilliantly unflinching rhymes about ghetto life that, although filled with standard gangsta rap themes, emanated from a world entirely their own. Mobb Deep continued to record into the 21st century, and remain one of rap's most respected duos.
