From HipHopDX:
Havoc says fans can expect a Mobb Deep and Nas album and explains why performing “The Infamous” in its entirety at Rock the Bells presents a new challenge for the duo.
One of the surprises announced during last night’s Rock the Bells press conference was that Havoc and Prodigy would be performing Mobb Deep’s The Infamous album in its entirety, joining a list of acts that includes Nas, Lauryn Hill and Souls of Mischief, to name a few. This news broke as Mobb Deep continues to work on new material after Prodigy’s recent release from prison. Havoc sat down with us to talk about joining the Rock the Bells lineup and broke exclusive news to HipHopDX by saying, “We’re going to do a Mobb Deep and Nas album.”
When asked what fans can expect from Mobb Deep’s renewed relationship with Nas, following their “Dog Shit” release, Havoc said that fans can expect, “an album from it.”
“We’re gonna do a Mobb Deep and Nas album. It hasn’t begun but we tipped the iceberg a little bit with the ‘Dog Shit.’ I think as we was working, doing songs back and forth with Nas recently, I think it was just a mutual thought, like, ‘Yo, let’s make a fucking album.’ Everybody was like, ‘Yeah, that would be dope. Fuck it, what we waiting for? Let’s do it.'”
The trio will have time to record over the summer as all three have decided to join the Rock the Bells tour. Like Mobb Deep, Nas will also perform an album in its entirety. He is scheduled to perform Illmatic. For Mobb Deep, this tour will bring about some exciting new challenges, as Havoc explained.
