Mobb Deep Origins

Prodigy, Havoc, Killa Black (Havoc's older brother), Big Noyd, The Twins (Gambino and Scarface), Ty Nitty, Godfather Pt. III, Ty Maxx, Gotti, Money No, Karate Joe, Stovo, and Littles all grew up together.

westside Havoc & Prodigy started rhyming in the late 1980s when the duo met at the High School of Art and Design in New York City. Havoc took the role of producer and secondary MC, while Prodigy assumed the position of primary M.C. Originally dubbing themselves the Poetical Profits, the duo later changed its name to Mobb Deep in order to "reflect their reputation on the streets." In the groups early career, it released the single "Cop Hell." While members of the clique were only 17, the released its debut album Juvenile Hell, which was led by the single "Peer Pressure." The album sold very poorly and was met with harsh reviews that wrote the duo off as just another hardcore group with little to distinguish them from the rest of the hip-hop world—especially with the group Illegal—despite production by DJ Premier and Large Professor. However, a few songs from Juvenile Hell gained a little recognition, such as "Hit It from the Back," "Locked in Spofford," and "Me and My Crew." Also in 1993, Havoc had a guest appearance in the critically acclaimed Black Moon album Enta Da Stage, on a song called "U Da Man."

  • I remember the first time I heard this in 1992 or 93 when I was livin' in Manassas, VA and one of the hip hop radio stations and I thought it was Kriss Kross for the longest time. I was thinkin' " oh shit, them lil' boys done turnned into gangstas all of a sudden." It was a rare song that was only played that one time on the radio, "uncut" late after midnight and I thought for sure that the stations DJ must have either fell asleep or just didn't give a fuck that they were cussin' on the song.
