Hip-hop heads, get ready! Nas and his Mass Appeal label are continuing their mission to bring classic sounds back with the announcement of a new, posthumous Mobb Deep album. Titled ‘Infinite,’ this project is set to drop soon as part of Nas’s ‘Legend Has It…’ series, which has already blessed fans with new music from other hip-hop legends.
A Tribute to Prodigy and Havoc
This upcoming release marks the first Mobb Deep album since the tragic passing of Prodigy in 2017. The legendary Queensbridge duo’s last album together was released in 2014, making ‘Infinite’ a highly anticipated project for fans eager to hear new material from the iconic group. The announcement came via an Instagram post from Nas, featuring a brief trailer narrated by Havoc.
In the trailer, Havoc reflects on the creative process, stating, “We didn’t have no choice but to make ill songs. We really dug deep and was like, ‘Aight, let’s do it, man, with these lyrics, the beats.’” Nas captioned the post with a direct nod to the duo: “@mobbdeepqb Against The World #Infinite coming soon.”
Star-Studded Production and Hype
Adding to the excitement, the entire ‘Infinite’ LP was produced by a powerhouse duo: Mobb Deep’s own Havoc and the acclaimed producer The Alchemist. Havoc recently shared on Drink Champs that the project is officially done, mixed, and mastered, ready for release. The Alchemist also expressed his enthusiasm, noting the depth of Prodigy’s rhymes and how ahead of his time he was.
The ‘Legend Has It…’ series, announced by Nas and Mass Appeal in April, aims to reintroduce and celebrate influential artists from the late 80s and 90s. So far, the series has featured Slick Rick’s ‘VICTORY’ and Raekwon’s ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes.’ Following Mobb Deep’s ‘Infinite,’ fans can anticipate projects from Big L, De La Soul, and a collaboration tape between Nas and DJ Premier, with potentially one more unrevealed project.
