From the organizer:
Selectist, a multi-medium platform dedicated to curating unforgettable experiences in events, music, and art, proudly presents the arrival of Mobb Deep to the city for the very first time on the 13th of January 2024. With a history of showcasing renowned artists such as Azymuth, Sudan Archives, Kevin Saunderson, and many more in Istanbul and beyond, Selectist consistently provides unique experiences for music enthusiasts worldwide.
Mobb Deep, a renowned American hip-hop duo consisting of Havoc (Kejuan Muchita) and Prodigy (Albert Johnson), emerged from Queens, New York, in the early 1990s, becoming iconic figures in East Coast rap. Their gritty, evocative lyrics and Havoc’s distinct production style contributed to their signature sound.
The breakthrough came with the 1995 album “The Infamous,” featuring classics like “Shook Ones (Part II).” The duo continued to make a significant impact with albums like “Hell on Earth” (1996) and “Murda Muzik” (1999). Prodigy’s intricate lyricism and Havoc’s production prowess solidified their status in hip-hop.
Despite occasional hiatuses and internal conflicts, Mobb Deep left an enduring legacy. Their influence on hardcore rap and the East Coast hip-hop scene remains profound. Prodigy passed away in 2017, but Mobb Deep’s contributions to the genre continue to resonate.
