Mobb Deep was an American hip-hop duo from Queens, New York, formed in 1992 by Havoc (3) and Prodigy. Known for their raw lyricism and dark, gritty production, they became influential figures in East Coast hip-hop. Their 1995 album The Infamous is considered a landmark release in the genre. The duo remained active until Prodigy’s passing in 2017.
Longtime collaborator Big Noyd, who frequently appeared on their albums, has supported Havoc on tour and continues to help keep Mobb Deep’s legacy alive.
