Talk Later and Flava are extremely proud to be bringing MOBB DEEP with special quest DJ SKI BEATZ back to New Zealand for 3 shows this April for the 20th anniversary of their historic album The Infamous
Mobb Deep is an American hip hop duo from Queensbridge, Queens, New York, U.S., that consists of Havoc and Prodigy. The duo is one of the most critically acclaimed hardcore East Coast Hip-Hop groups. The group is best known for its dark, hardcore delivery as exemplified by the single Shook Ones Pt. II. Mobb Deep has become one of the most successful rap duos in hip hop, having sold over three million records
The Infamous is the second studio album by the American hip hop duo Mobb Deep, released April 25, 1995, on Loud Records. The album features guest appearances from Nas, Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip, and close Mobb Deep affiliate Big Noyd. Embedded with hyper-visual lyricism, dark soundscapes, gritty narratives, and hard beats, it marked Mobb Deeps transition from a relatively unknown rap duo to an influential and commercially successful one.
Joining the duo on this NZ tour will be none other than DJ Ski Beatz:
Discovered by DJ Clark Kent, Ski was originally known as MC Will-Ski. In the 1990s, he was a member of the group Original Flavor, the first group managed by future recording industry executive Damon Dash. In the mid-90s, Ski was working on duo Camp Los debut album Uptown Saturday Night when Dash called him in to work on the debut album of his own artist, Jay-Z. Jays album, Reasonable Doubt, was released in 1996, marking Skis first major production placement. Ski produced four tracks off the album, including the singles Dead Presidents and Feelin It
