Biography

As the golden age of rap suddenly gave way to West Coast gangsta in the early '90s, an East Coast variety of hardcore rap arose in turn, with Mobb Deep initially standing tall as one of New York's hardcore figureheads on the basis of their epochal album The Infamous. Subsequent releases from the duo were likewise influential, especially Hell on Earth (1996). However, by the late '90s, Mobb Deep were no longer setting trends, and they lost some of their stature as subsequent generations of hardcore rappers arose. They eventually drifted into the G-Unit camp and released Blood Money (2006), which gave the duo a substantial uptick in sales and airplay. ~ Jason Birchmeier
