Havoc is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Mobb Deep’s classic 1995 album, “The Infamous”, with the release of an expanded edition.
The updated version includes a remastered version of its original 16 tracks, plus the original version of “Shook Ones Pt. 1” and the instrumentals for both “Shook Ones Pt. 1” and “Shook Ones Pt. 2”. It also features session mixes for both “Lifestyles Of The Infamous” off their demo tape, and 1994’s “The Money”, which appeared on their 2014 LP, “The Infamous Mobb”.
R.I.P. Prodigy.
Havoc of Mobb Deep has been through it all. From beefs, wars and the eventual loss of his rap partner, he endures. The veteran rapper/producer talks to Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur about how he and Prodigy created a timeless classic that is now 25 years old. “The Infamous…” is an opus that rings bells whenever you mention East Coast rap and albums that take listeners on a journey through the hood. To this day, the album stands firm. Havoc talks about the loss of Prodigy, the impact the group had on Hip-Hop, and how the whole thing came to be with Q-Tip, Nas, Raekwon, Ghostface and others.
It has been 25 years since Havoc and Prodigy dropped their classic project “The Infamous”. Havoc talked to the Sway In The Morning crew about that album and some memorable moments coming up in hip-hop during the 90’s.
