By now we all know that the Mobb comes equipped with warfare, but that’s all because of the following album.
In 1993 Albert Johnson and Kejuan Muchita dropped “Juvenile Hell” on Island Records featuring productions from primetime beatmakers as DJ Premier and Large Professor. The album didn’t rise the Mobb to much stardom, but nonetheless it paved the way for what was to come.
In 1995 the Mobb dropped “Shook Ones Pt. II” as their lead single off of their album that was to come, “The Infamous”.
The lyrics were as hard as steel and dirt-under-your-fingernails kind of raw and backed up by soulful and yet rough productions by Havoc with assistance of Q-Tip.
On “The Infamous” the Queensbridge natives complimented one and other with Prodigy holding the torch that Havoc kept blazin’ with beats. “The Infamous” received 4.5 mics in The Source and is recognized as one of the cornerstones of eastcoast hiphop. The Mobb dropped “Hell On Earth” the year after the release of “The Infamous” and they kept bringing that stab-your-brain-with-you-nosebone type music.
The Mobb was mad Deep in the mid-90’s and that’s only to our enjoyment!
