Havoc & Alchemist Open Up on Prodigy, Tupac Beef & Infamous 30 Years Later

Havoc and The Alchemist sat down with Nessa at HOT 97 to talk about Infinite, the first official Mobb Deep album in over a decade. They opened up about why now was the time for this release, what it meant to bring Prodigy’s presence into the project, and the emotional experience of hearing his vocals again. They talked about the moment they made him an executive producer, how the album stayed true to the classic Mobb Deep sound, and whether any tears were shed during the process. They also reflected on The Infamous turning 30 this year, the impact it still has, and what songs and lessons from that era still stand out today.

They looked back on the ‘90s, the tension with Tupac, and what it was like hearing “Hit Em Up” for the first time. Havoc explained whether Mobb Deep and Pac ever had a chance to reconcile. They also talked about why it was important to release Infinite under Nas’ label and what success means to them now. From who they envy in each other’s creative process, to Alchemist navigating working with Mobb Deep as a West Coast producer, and the decision to put Lil Kim on “Quiet Storm,” the conversation dug deep into legacy, brotherhood, and how they want Mobb Deep to be remembered.
