"The legendary Queensbridge duo - Havoc and the late Prodigy - will release Infinite on Friday, October 10, marking their first album in seven years and their first major project since Prodigy's passing in 2017. Thanks to Nas and his Mass Appeal label, this long-awaited return feels both timely and significant, bridging eras and reminding fans why Mobb Deep's voice in hip-hop remains irreplaceable."
"For Havoc, Infinite is more than just another project - it's a labor of love and a way to honor his fallen partner. Prodigy's voice, preserved across verses recorded before his passing, opens "Against The World" with a commanding presence. The verse is packed with clever metaphors and hard-hitting delivery, a reminder of why Prodigy's pen earned him a place among the most respected lyricists of his generation."
"Havoc, ever the architect of Mobb Deep's sound, handles production duties on the track. The beat layers horn stabs with dusty vocal loops, striking a balance between menace and soulfulness that instantly calls back to the duo's mid-'90s dominance. This isn't an attempt to modernize or soften their sound - it's an affirmation that the DNA of Mobb Deep's music remains as potent as ever."
Mobb Deep will release Infinite on Friday, October 10, their first album in seven years and first major project since Prodigy's 2017 death via Nas' Mass Appeal. Renewed interest in the catalog has included reissues and tributes at live shows. Infinite assembles unreleased and curated material to preserve the duo's legacy while celebrating an uncompromising approach to rap. The lead single, "Against The World," is dark, brash, and unflinching. Prodigy's preserved verses open the track with commanding presence while Havoc's production layers horn stabs and dusty vocal loops. The Alchemist also contributes to the project's moody, classic sound.
