Deep Inside Queensbridge NY Projects: Birthplace of Nas & Mobb Deep
Today, Chris is taking us deep inside Queensbridge Houses in New York City—the largest public housing development in North America and the legendary birthplace of two of hip-hop’s greatest acts: Nas and Mobb Deep. This is the very place where Nas wrote the blueprint for modern rap with Illmatic, turning everyday project life into poetic street scripture, and where Mobb Deep captured the raw tension of the streets on classics like ‘Shook Ones Pt. II.’ From the iconic red-brick towers overlooking the East River to the benches and courtyards that shaped their stories, join Chris as he walks through the heart of QB—where struggle, survival, and genius collided to create timeless music. Let’s dive in.
