The group is perhaps most famous for its landmark 1995 album The Infamous and for the single " Shook Ones Pt. II ." Although the group hasn't seen a large amount of commercial success, the majority of its albums have been met with critical acclaim, in particular for The Infamous , which is considered an East Coast classic . Origins Havoc & Prodigy started rhyming in the late 1980s when the duo met at the High School of Art and Design in New York City . Havoc took the role of producer, while Prodigy assumed the position of primary M.C. Originally dubbing themselves the Poetical Profits, the duo later changed its name to Mobb Deep in order to "reflect their reputation on the streets." In the group’s early career, it released the single "Cop Hell."While members of the clique were only 17, the released its debut album Juvenile Hell , which was led by the single " Peer Pressure ." The album sold very poorly and was met with harsh reviews that wrote the duo off as just another hardcore group with little to distinguish them from the rest of the hip-hop world—especially with the group Illegal—despite production by DJ Premier and Large Professor . However, a few songs from Juvenile Hell gained a little recognition, such as " Hit It from the Back ," "Locked in Spofford," and "Me and My Crew." Also in 1993, Havoc had a guest appearance in the critically acclaimed Black Moon album Enta Da Stage , on a song called "U Da Man." Rise to success While still at a young age, the duo catapulted itself to the top of the hardcore hip-hop scene through its straightforward narration of street life. As with their first lyrical production, Mobb Deep portrayed the struggles of living in New York City's Queensbridge Houses . Following its release, The Infamous became one of the most influential hip-hop albums of the East Coast hardcore hip-hop genre ever. The duo's production also was noticed as the beats were often hard-hitting and direct, a testament to Havoc, who produced the duo's tracks almost exclusively throughout their careers. Furthermore, the smash hit single " Shook Ones Pt. II " received critical acclaim and was well-received within the hip hop community. Its third album, Hell on Earth was released in 1996, debuting at number six on the Billboard album chart . The album continued the duo's portrayal of harsh street life, while further pushing them to the forefront of the hardcore hip-hop scene, along with contemporary East Coast emcees such as The Notorious B.I.G. , Wu-Tang Clan collective, Jay-Z , and fellow Queensbridge associate Nas .In 1999, the duo released the highly anticipated Murda Muzik album. Despite extensive bootlegging (nearly thirty songs of unreleased material leaked onto the Internet) and countless delays, the album debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and quickly received platinum certification—further highlighted by the popular single " Quiet Storm ." Shortly afterward, Prodigy released his long-awaited solo album H.N.I.C. , in which the emcee collaborated with other artists ( B.G. , N.O.R.E. ) and producers (i... read more
