Mobb Deep, the influential hip-hop duo from Queensbridge, New York—comprising Havoc and the late Prodigy—cemented their legacy with gritty beats and unflinching street narratives that defined 1990s East Coast rap. Rising to prominence with albums like *The Infamous* and *Hell on Earth*, their minimalist production and raw lyricism captured the stark realities of inner-city life. Revered for their authenticity and influence, Mobb Deep’s sound continues to shape generations of hip-hop artists and producers, standing as a cornerstone of hardcore rap culture.
