Mobb Deep unveil first release in almost a decade, "Against The World"
New York hip-hop duo Mobb Deep have released "Against The World", marking their first track to be released since the death of Prodigy in 2017.
Produced by surviving member Havoc, "Against The World" offers a first glimpse of the group’s forthcoming new album, Infinite.
"This one feels like coming full circle," says Havoc. "It's that classic Mobb energy — dark, real, unfiltered. The sound that shaped who we are but also speaks to where hip-hop is right now."
Infinite features further production by Havoc plus four tracks by frequent and long-term Mobb Deep collaborator The Alchemist. The album will be the fourth instalment in Mass Appeal’s ongoing Legend Has It… series by New York hip-hop trailblazers, following on from Slick Rick’s Victory, Raekwon’s The Emperor’s New Clothes, Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele 2, and preceding new offerings from Nas & DJ Premier, Big L and De La Soul.
Infinite, is due for release on 10 October.
