Big Noyd and Mobb Deep

Mobb Deep, the influential East Coast rap duo from Queens, revolutionized hardcore rap with albums like "The Infamous" and hits such as "Shook Ones, Pt. 2." Prodigy and Havoc set a gritty tone, collaborating with Nas and Raekwon. Their pioneering style inspired acts like G-Unit. They achieved platinum success with "Murda Muzik" and explored new sounds with "Infamy." Despite label challenges, G-Unit's signing revitalized them. Prodigy passed in 2017, leaving a profound legacy.
