MOBB DEEP
The names Havoc and Prodigy are legendary in their own right, but when I say Mobb Deep, every hip hop fan will jump up and down
The guys first met in high school, where legend has it Havoc tried to rob P (or maybe he did).
Schedule
At first, they went by the name Poetical Prophets and tried to get labels by breaking in and pushing their own tape from their own tape decks for the artists they were facing, which is how Q-Tip got their attention.
In '92 they changed their name to Mobb Deep. 1993 saw the release of their first album, "Juvenile Hell", with the help of legendary producers (e.g. Premier and Large Professor).
In 1995 came the double album "The Infamous", produced mostly by Havoc, which was very good for the sound. 'Shook Ones Pt.2.' was also given new life by the likes of Eminem's 8 Mile, but whenever I hear a sparkling stove I immediately associate it with this trek.
It was followed by their other legendary album 'Hell On Earth', followed by 5 more, but they were prolific as solos, especially Prodigy. He sadly passed away in 2017, so they've been without him since, but with the addition of Big Noyd - who is almost unofficially the third member of the band since 1993's Juvenile Hell, although he really exploded on 1995's Infamous - they're now touring the world with Havoc and carrying on the Mobb Deep name.
They don't usually slack off at gigs, they don't put on a dozen gigs that smell of hook, they put their all into live shows. That's to be expected when they visit us again, and they're joined by the legendary Dj L.E.S., also in his own right, to get the Aquarium crowd moving. An unmissable event for hiphop heads!
Akvárium
As they describe themselves, it is Budapest's most frequented venue, which is also multifunctional. Akvárium is great for award ceremonies, afternoon coffees and, most importantly, concerts, thanks to the well-picked, cross-genre selection.
