In a powerful and heartfelt episode of CONVOS, host Mic Fox and Wood Harris sit down with Havoc of Mobb Deep and legendary producer The Alchemist to discuss the release of Infinite — the much-anticipated ninth and final studio album from the iconic Queensbridge duo.
Infinite was officially released on October 10, 2025, through HClass Entertainment, Infamous Records, and Mass Appeal Records, marking Mobb Deep’s first full-length project in over a decade and a poignant tribute to late partner Prodigy.
A Legacy Reimagined
During the interview, Havoc reflects on the emotional and artistic journey of crafting Infinite. With previously unreleased vocals from Prodigy — who passed away in 2017 — the album serves both as a celebration of his legacy and a powerful testament to the group’s enduring impact on hip-hop culture.
Havoc explains how he and The Alchemist approached producing the record with reverence, balancing the raw, gritty sound that defined Mobb Deep’s early work with fresh energy for today’s scene. Their collaboration stretches back decades, and The Alchemist brought his deep musical intuition to the project, enhancing the duo’s signature style while maintaining its soulful grit.
Honoring Prodigy’s Legacy
A central theme of the conversation is legacy — both personal and artistic. Havoc speaks candidly about working with Prodigy’s archived vocals and the responsibility of doing justice to his partner’s memory. The resulting album not only preserves Prodigy’s voice but also frames it within a project that feels like a natural continuation of Mobb Deep’s storied catalog.
Mass Appeal’s “Legend Has It” Series
Infinite is part of Mass Appeal’s “Legend Has It…” series, a 2025 initiative spotlighting seminal artists and albums throughout hip-hop history. Within this framework, Mobb Deep’s contribution stands out as both a cultural milestone and a deeply personal finale.
What Fans Are Saying
Already, tracks like “Against the World” have sparked buzz for their vivid production and classic Mobb Deep energy — a bridge between the raw intensity of the duo’s early output and the reflective maturity earned over years in the game.
Looking Forward
By the end of the conversation, Havoc and The Alchemist offer fans insight into their creative process, their respect for the craft, and their gratitude for Mobb Deep’s impact on generations of hip-hop heads. For long-time listeners and new fans alike, Infinite stands tall — a fitting tribute, a powerful body of work, and a lasting chapter in the story of one of hip-hop’s most influential duos.
