Mobb Deep - Infamy (Vinyl)
Long considered New York's most rugged and hardcore rap group of the '90s to ever make it big, Mobb Deep finally soften up a bit on 'Infamy'. The album is a turning point for Prodigy and Havoc - and a timely one indeed. Shortly before 'Infamy' hit the streets, Jay-Z had blasted Mobb Deep on "Takeover," berating Prodigy in particular for being fake. Surprisingly, the Queensbridge duo went about their business and released 'Infamy', their most accessible album yet - the sort of album many fans never would have expected.
Granted, Mobb Deep still rep the street life here, as songs such as "Kill That Nigga" and "My Gats Spitting," no doubt illustrate. However, songs such as "Pray for Me," and "There I Go Again" sent quite a different message; the first features Lil' Mo and the second Ron Isley - each there to smooth out Mobb Deep's rough sound. And it works, particularly in the case of the thug ballad "Hey Luv (Anything)," which garnered the most exposure the duo had yet experienced and introduced Mobb Deep to a broader audience.
This is the 20th Anniversary Double Vinyl, Reissue.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
