Welcome back everybody. We’ve got a good one today. On April 13th, 1993, the world was introduced to Mobb Deep. The Queensbridge duo released their debut album Juvenile Hell. Havoc and Prodigy burst on to the scene in their late teens and never looked back. Both Havoc and Prodigy shared time behind the boards and with the mic and made one hell of a duo. Juvenile Hell was not a massive mainstream success, but the duo went on to make plenty of classic music. They’ve sold over 3 million records throughout their career. “Shook Ones (Part II) is arguably one of the best known rap songs of all times and defined a term that countless artists would use throughout history. The two kids from the projects were telling their story and became famous for their hardcore delivery and street driven lyrics. They most recently released an album in 2014. On a sadder note, Prodigy passed away last June. But their music will live on forever. So over the weekend, check out the latest update to our playlist. It will feature all of Juvenile Hell and some other classic Mobb Deep hits. Enjoy your weekend y’all, may it be filled with dope music. I’ll see you back here next week for more hip hop history lessons.
