One of the cornerstones of the New York hardcore movement, The Infamous is Mobb Deep's masterpiece, a relentlessly bleak song cycle that's been hailed by hardcore Rap fans as one of the most realistic gangsta albums ever recorded.

The product of an uncommon artistic vision, The Infamous stands as an all-time gangsta/hardcore classic. Review: Gamm has become known for its edits of disco, house and jazz classics but back in the day it used to drop red hot hip hop reworks of golden era sounds. With Havoc handling production on all but 3 cuts and only two guest appearances (one being from long-time Queensbridge associate Big Noyd) Free Agents is uncut, undiluted Mobb Deep all the way through. Their music is characterised by dark samples, the drums, snares and bass are defined and the raw lyrics are of a very high standard, in the most competitive era in rap history. If you prefer the production to the spoken, or rapped, word then this is for you - a collection, A Hell of Instrumentals, that offers up their most raw and essential beats.

In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. From Survival of the Fittest, Give Up The Goods (Just Step), Right Back At You and Eye For an Eye all are Mobb at their best with some notable features from Nas, Raekwon, Ghost and QB affiliate Big Noyd.

Still so much to discover in those lyrics and still adaptable in my 42 yr old life as it was when I was 14.

Originally named Poetical Prophets, Havoc and Prodigy turned heads in 1991 through magazine's now legendary "Unsigned Hype" column.

Prodigy and Havoc rip every track with quotable lines that still turn up in Hip Hop records to this day. The album features Mobb Deep Queensbidge affiliates Infamous Mobb and Big Noyd and was certified Gold. Their music reflects the hostile reality of an era when poverty, drugs and gang violence plagued the streets of New York.

the tracks “the start of your ending” “survival of the fittest” “eye for an eye” “up north trip” “temperatures rising” “shook ones pt 2”all sound so amazing on it. Prodigy's sad death in 2017 due to a long and cruel illness only has amplified an already existing legacy. This fresh 7" takes the album's lead single 'Peer Pressure', and switches the B-side from the original 92 pressings' LP closer 'Flavor for the Non Believes' out for the endlessly iconic banger 'Bitch Ass Nigga'. Juvenile Hell remains is an enduring Queensbridge debut made by young minds in lockstep that proved influential for decades thereafter.
