Legacy

Mobb Deep is an American hip hop duo that was founded in 1992 in Queens, New York City. The group was formed by two talented artists who were known for their unique style and gritty lyrics. Sadly, one of the founding members passed away in 2017, leaving behind a legacy of influential music.

With their origins rooted in the vibrant hip hop scene of New York City, Mobb Deep quickly gained recognition for their raw and authentic sound. Their music captured the essence of street life and painted vivid pictures of urban struggles.

Over the years, Mobb Deep has released several critically acclaimed albums and collaborated with some of the biggest names in hip hop. Their impact on the genre cannot be overstated, as they have influenced countless artists with their distinctive sound and storytelling abilities.

Mobb Deep's Murda Muzik. Available here on Double LP.

Mobb Deep got on their job once again with the punishing release of Murda Muzik. The duo, well-known for their lethal realism both in their infinitely dark yet moving beats and their stark and ruthless crime-rhyme lyrics, continued their grim odyssey with this, their fourth effort. Released amid so much watered-down product, Murda Muzik is an arguable masterpiece in the Puffy and Master P era. Mobb Deep once described their music as the sound of hypnotic thug life. An accurate description, for their music is more than just guns and herb smoking, it taps into the collective sense of fear and horror, the evil in men's hearts, and the struggle for good in the gardens of waste. Mobb music can make you cry, can make you scared, can amplify your inner rage; its depth allows for the gamut of emotional reactions. On this album, primary producer Havoc reached a high level of mastery in his production efforts, a truly signature style of deep bass grooves, piercing organs, ice-cold snare pops, melodic samples, and haunting orchestral snippets. Each song creates its own mood, whether it be a call to stop the violence on "Spread Love" or a call for full-throttle livin' on "I'm Goin' Out." Guest appearances by Raekwon, Lil' Kim, Lil' Cease, Cormega, Kool G. Rap, Eightball, and Infamous Mobb add texture to already bangin' tracks. The album overall can best be described as pure ear- and mind-twisting pleasure and pain. The album will affect you, get under your skin, make you rash up, and then salve you. Murda Muzik is a complete album and a renewal of the truly hardcore movement.
