FlipNJay, Aggressive Promotions & Household Records present The Infamous MOBB DEEP Canadian Tour HAVOC - BIG NOYD - DJ L.E.S. *NEW DATE* Wednesday, Dec 18th Doors: 8pm Show: 9pm 19+ Plus Special Guest CHECKMATE & CONCISE Sounds by Rhek Mobb Deep Mobb Deep’s Havoc and the late Prodigy began making music together after meeting as teenagers while attending the Graphic Arts High School in Manhattan. In the early 1990s, they adopted the stage name Mobb Deep and released their debut album, "Juvenile Hell". The 1995 follow-up, "The Infamous", was an enormous success and featured hit singles "Shook Ones, Part II" and "Survival of the Fittest" and is considered one of the greatest rap albums ever. It shares venerated classic hip hop status with Nas' "Illmatic" and the Notorious B.I.G. 's "Ready to Die”, but it wasn’t until 1999's "Murda Muzik" that the duo earned their first Platinum album. As natives of Queensbridge, NY, Havoc and Prodigy speak first hand about their experiences growing up. Combine that with their distinctly atmospheric and gritty sound, produced mostly by Havoc, and they created a sound that has become known to hip-hop heads as "Mobb Phonics". Far from glorifying gang violence, Mobb Deep can be considered one of the pioneers of "reality rap", a style of hip-hop that presents an accurate, observational picture of the inner-city. Their credibility, straightforward lyrics, and grimy sound earned them respect among peers and fans alike making Mobb Deep one of the greatest rap groups of not only the 90’s, but of all time.
