Mobb Deep - The Infamous

Hip-hop at its rawest. Havoc and Prodigy really tear it up here, descriptively narrating about life in the hood. The beats are terrific -- cold and dark. The only thing that brings this album down a bit are the useless preludes, which come in a lengthy form. They don't really affect the album all that much though.

If you're a fan of the east coast hip-hop sound, check this shit.


Listen to:
- Shook Ones pt. II
- Survival of the Fittest
- Cradle to the Grave
