Infamous

Product Information

Ffs it should sound like that, me going from the CD version, listening to tapes on my headphones going to school and skateboarding to these non replaceable anthems implemented in my brain. 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.

Mobb Deep redefined East Coast hip hop in the early 90s with their release Juvenile Hell and the break-out follow up The Infamous.

They are considered the foremost progenitors of hardcore rap and one of the most influential hip hop groups in history. If you need your audio fidelity east-coast fix in a hurry and don't have the time to commit to a full spin of the LP, then this single has you covered.Raw, unrelenting, and overtly-confident, Juvenile Hell was the infant stages of what would be defined as the Queensbridge Sound—grimy street narratives over cold, sonorous production underpinned with bravado and melancholy.

The album features guest appearances from Nas and Wu-Tang Clan members Reakwon and Ghostface Killah. 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.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

Their 1993 debut LP Juvenile Hell would, at the time, be a commercial failure eventually leading to their being dropped by their label, but the material has only grown exponentially in terms of both influence and relevance. As a production unit and a rap troupe, the pair displayed know-how and insight well beyond their years, making it easy to forget that both Havoc and Prodigy were in their late teens in 1993 when Juvenile Hell was released. 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.

On this album we will be able to enjoy the instrumentals and acappellas of many of their best tracks throughout their career. The prodigious pair were keenly aware of their career stage and brought in established producers to help aid the album, namely DJ Premier on the minimal, angst-filled thumper “Peer Pressure” and Large Professor whose remix of said track gave it an extra shot in the arm. To commemorate the 20 Year Anniversary Get On Down is proud to present this reissue for Mobb Deep fans worldwide. It features guest spots from Grian Chatten, Lianne La Havas, Confucius MC, assia and Kevin Abstract. The kings of the East Coast sound had a perfect blend of dark soul, low swung swing and all pervading menace as well, of course, as some super hard bars.

This is hard, underground Hip Hop that demands to be met on its own terms, with few melodic hooks to draw the listener in. It seems they are now getting back to that with this new three party 7" inch series which is focussed on the American east coast. Out of print for well over a decade, this chapter in Mobb Deep’s legacy is back in effect for RSD Black Friday. Juvenile Hellis an early storyboard depicting two street musicians who worked in tandem to speak their mind and relate their surroundings to the world.

Every song here feels right, right from the moment you put the needle on the record you are taken directly to the galaxy of Queens expertly scored by Havoc. This is hard, underground hip hop that demands to be met on it's own terms, with few melodic hooks to draw the listener in. 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'. is the albums crown jewel, from the moment the hi hat and snare combo drops it still has the same impact today as it did in 1995. 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.
