The Queensbridge militants Prodigy and Havoc are pounding the pavement hard in 2007 in the independent game. With Prodigy about to release an independent album on KOCH Records, the QB's most infamous are hitting the fans with this special, double-disc collection of unreleased joints from the Blood Money gang. With a lot of material from before the G-Unit days, this collection is for Infamous afficianados everywhere.

DESCRIPTION FROM THE LABEL: "Infamous Archives” is a 30 track, 2-disc walk
through the Mobb Deep vaults. With rare exception these cuts have not been
heard by Mobb Deep fans. The cuts on “The Infamous Archives” go back to the
group's mid to late 90s hardcore heyday. Start to finish this release is illustrative
of Mobb Deep's dark, dynamic, grimy sound with haunting melodies courtesy of
Havoc's production, that to many represented “street” in a way not done by
anyone ever before. Additionally, Prodigy's penchant for starting off a verse
with an attention grabbing line, writing raw rhymes based heavily on the
Queensbridge slang they call the dunn language, and a distinct, hen-rock
induced delivery appeals to the core fan's lyrical sensibilities. The double disc
boasts collaborations with 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Cormega,
Tragedy Khadafi, Onyx, Infamous Mobb, Big Noyd, Alchemist and More!
Prodigy and Havoc, powered themselves to the top of the hardcore rap scene
through their straightforward narration of street life portraying the struggles of
living in New York City's Queensbridge housing projects. Almost immediately
on release, “The Infamous” became one of the most influential Hip Hop
albums of the East Coast hardcore rap genre. Their production also was
noticed as the beats are often hard hitting and direct, a testament to Havoc,
who produced the duos' tracks almost exclusively throughout their career.
Furthermore, the smash hit single “Shook Ones Pt. II”, received critical
acclaim and was well-received within the Hip Hop community. Their third
album, “Hell on Earth” was released in 1996, debuting at number six on the
Billboard album chart. The album continued their portrayal of a harsh street
life, while further pushing them to the forefront of the hardcore rap scene,
along with contemporary East Coast rappers such as Notorious B.I.G., the
Wu-Tang Clan collective, Jay-Z, and fellow Queensbridge associate, Nas.
In 1999, the duo released the highly anticipated “Murda Muzik”. The album
debuted at number three on Billboard and quickly went platinum, further
highlighted by the popular single, “Quiet Storm”. Shortly afterwards, Prodigy
released his long awaited solo album “H.N.I.C.” in 2000, in which the rapper
collaborated with other artists and producers. Since 2000 Mobb Deep
dropped their final album for Loud, released “Free Agents: The Murda
Mixtape” independently, jumped to Jive for “Amerikaz Nightmare” and then
stunned heads everywhere by jumping to 50's G-Unit. But on this set the
focus is on the grittier, harder the Pre-2000 period making “The Infamous
Archives” a must have to get your thug and drug on.
