Mobb Deep The Infamous (1995)

“Mobb Deep went from gimmick kiddie rap duo to hip-hop’s dark horsemen of the apocalypse. Gritty and nihilistic, Prodigy and Havoc ushered in a post-gangsta era of reality rap that privileged vivid street narratives over mere drive-by posturing. As well, production by themselves and guests like Q-Tip kept the soundscape moving beyond just the dissonant drone of ‘Shook Ones.’ ‘The Infamous’ captured Mobb Deep at the beginning of their rebirth, before their formula became redundant.”
