Boi-1da Producing On Mobb Deep's "The Infamous Mobb Deep" Album
by Soren Baker
Drake producer Boi-1da says he is working with Havoc on beats for Mobb Deep's forthcoming "The Infamous Mobb Deep" set.
Boi-1da is among those who will be producing material with Havoc for Mobb Deep’s forthcoming The Infamous Mobb Deep album.
“It’s new-age with that old Mobb twist to it,” the Toronto producer says during an interview with vibe.com.
“I was a big fan of Mobb Deep and Havoc’s production, so I just reached
out and me and him have been producing records together, sending stuff
back and forth. I can say that I have some records on the new Mobb Deep
album that me and Havoc did together. It’s something I knocked off my
bucket list.”
Mobb Deep announced its The Infamous Mobb Deep album and tour last month. Havoc and Prodigy are
slated to release the double album through Infamous Records/Red in
March, according to Prodigy. The collection is scheduled to include
unreleased selections from the group's 1995 sessions while crafting its The Infamous album, according to a press release. The project is slated to include a digitally re-mastered version of The Infamous and a new self-titled album.
"We're gonna have special packaging and we've got like 10 unreleased songs from The Infamous album," Prodigy said on Huffington Post. "Verses nobody's ever heard before from Raekwon, Nas, Ghostface [Killah], our verses. It's crazy."

"The deal that I got with Def Jam through Visionary is incredible," Logic says in a video released through All Def Digital. "We do what we want and the label just supports it."
In the clip, Logic also praises those working with him behind-the-scenes.
"My team is everything," he says. "There are so many people in my camp that have allowed me to get to this level. I definitely don't take it for granted. What we have to always remember as musicians and artists is to just focus on the craft. That's all that matters."
Logic has announced that his debut album is slated to be released this year. That promise was made via Twitter.
In December, Logic spoke with HipHopDX about his upcoming album.
"This record actually has a lot of significance as far as lyrically," Logic said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. "This is one of the first songs where I really...In my career, my fans know [me], definitely, without a doubt with records like, 'Dear God' or 'Dead Presidents III,' where I have delved into who I am as a person and the things that I've gone through. However, I have never truly brought you into the world of like Bobby, the person. Kind of been a lot about Logic.
"I feel like with rappers and mixtapes, its kind of like, we rap and we show our worth," Logic continued. "So it's like, 'I'm this good because I can rap like this, check out this style, check out this, that.' That's kind of what we do [with] mixtapes, to be honest. But with the album, it is totally different. I want this to be why my fans are my fans. I want them to get to truly know me. You can hear it in Kendrick's mixtapes, you know, kind of being the best and you can hear it in Cole, just them rapping, but there are some really incredible songs that they have of great meaning and who they are, but I feel like in their album, that's where we really got to know who they were, not only as rappers, musicians and artists, but as people."
