Mobb Deep announced months ago that fans can expect a new double album in March from the reunited duo, and now details are emerging regarding the project. Hitmaking Toronto-based producer Boi 1da will be contributing to the album, which is currently titled The Infamous Mobb Deep.
The producer became known for his collaborations with Drake, and he spoke about working with a veteran act whose fans expect an established sound.
“It’s new-age with that old Mobb twist to it,” the Toronto producer revealed during an interview with vibe.com. “I was a big fan of Mobb Deep and Havoc’s production, so I just reached out and me and him have been producing records together, sending stuff back and forth. I can say that I have some records on the new Mobb Deep album that me and Havoc did together. It’s something I knocked off my bucket list.”
Prodigy spoke to Huffington Post about the album, which will include unreleased tracks from Mobb Deep’s 1995 breakthrough album The Infamous….
“We’re gonna have special packaging and we’ve got like 10 unreleased songs from The Infamous album,” Prodigy said. “Verses nobody’s ever heard before from Raekwon, Nas, Ghostface [Killah], our verses. It’s crazy.”
