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. After getting back into vinyl last year this was one of my important albums to own as I've had this on cassette and cd. Dark pianos and snapping drums are the theme, even when Q Tip mans the boards on his handful of tracks, everything stays uniform. This is hard, underground Hip Hop that demands to be met on its own terms, with few melodic hooks to draw the listener in. members of the Wu-Tang Clan collective, Jay-Z, Nas and 50 Cent, on whose label G-Unit they would release their album Blood Money (2005).Unit 4 - Carberry Court 28 Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Hillington Park, Glasgow, United Kingdom, G52 4NQ. With their albums The Infamous (1995) and Hell On Earth (1996) they achieved fame within and outside the hip hop community, including hits such as "Shook Ones (Part II)" and "Survival of the Fittest". Juvenile Hellis an early storyboard depicting two street musicians who worked in tandem to speak their mind and relate their surroundings to the world. Review: The iconic duo of Havoc and Prodigy, better known as Mobb Deep, almost single (or doubled) handedly became the primary progenitive force in hardcore east-coast hip-hop in the early nineties. 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.

Their music reflects the hostile reality of an era when poverty, drugs and gang violence plagued the streets of New York. 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.Originally named Poetical Prophets, Havoc and Prodigy turned heads in 1991 through magazine's now legendary "Unsigned Hype" column.

Similarly, there's little pleasure or relief offered in the picture of the streets Mobb Deep paint here.With guest appearances from Nas, Wu-Tang Clan members, Reakwon and Ghostface Killah, the album was a major milestone for the duo, launching them from relative obscurity into THE super group they became. 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. The album Swimming arrived on the heels of his previously released tracks Small Worlds, Self Care and What's The Use? One thing to be clear and careful about is that the photo shown is for the album that came out after the one listed. 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 calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Still so much to discover in those lyrics and still adaptable in my 42 yr old life as it was when I was 14. As the group moved into the 2000s and parted ways with their long-time label, Loud, they released Free Agents as a celebration of their moving on to … well, free agent status.After a three-year hiatus and numerous release date pushbacks, Mobb Deep got on their job once again with the punishing release of Murda Muzik. To commemorate the 20 Year Anniversary Get On Down is proud to present this reissue for Mobb Deep fans worldwide. The homespun music video was a local TV hit and “Hit It From The Back,” a track produced by Prodigy and Method Max, also charted at No. 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. 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.
