About the Artist

Mobb Deep, the iconic duo hailing from Queensbridge, New York City, comprises Havoc and the late, great Prodigy. Since their inception in the early 1990s, they have carved out a permanent space in the hip-hop pantheon. Known for their dark, atmospheric production and street-hardened narratives, Mobb Deep’s music is a stark reflection of urban life, delivered with a poetic intensity that resonates deeply. Their breakthrough album, 'The Infamous' (1995), is widely considered a masterpiece and a cornerstone of 90s hip-hop, featuring anthems like 'Shook Ones, Pt. II' and 'Survival of the Fittest'. This track, in particular, with its haunting sample and Prodigy's menacing flow, has become synonymous with the duo's enduring legacy. Havoc's production, often characterised by its minimalist, menacing soundscapes, perfectly complements Prodigy's sharp, unflinching lyricism. Together, they created a sound that was both distinctive and influential, inspiring a generation of artists and cementing their status as hip-hop royalty. Their continued impact is a testament to their authentic voice and unwavering commitment to their craft. The Birmingham show is a rare opportunity to experience this legendary sound live.
