Mobb Deep was an American hip hop duo from Queens, New York[1][3] formed in 1991. Consisting of rappers/songwriters/record producers Prodigy and Havoc, they are considered to be among the principal progenitors of hardcore East Coast hip hop.[4] Mobb Deep became one of the most successful rap duos of all time, having sold over three million records.[4] Their best-known albums are The Infamous (1995), Hell on Earth (1996) and Murda Muzik (1999),[5][6] and their most successful singles were "Shook Ones (Part II)" and "Survival of the Fittest."[7] They were known for their dark and hardcore delivery.[8]
The duo disbanded in 2012, but reunited the following year.[9] Prodigy died in June 2017.[10] As of 2023, Havoc is currently working on a new Mobb Deep album.[11]
