Mobb Deep – Infinite (Album Stream & Review)

The fourth album in Mass Appeal’s “Legend Has It…” series is none other than that of Queensbridge icons, Mobb Deep. Hip-Hop is still mourning the loss of Prodigy, even 8 years after his passing, which makes the fact that Havoc and The Alchemist have faithfully captured his essence on “Infinite,” that much more meaningful. When the first single appeared, it was evident we’re in store for a proper Mobb Deep album.

Its first single is also the first track.

From the get go, “Infinite” sets the right tone and builds excitement for what’s to come with its powerful opener, “Against The World.” When the first tones reveal themselves and Prodigy proclaims: “I’m back!”, it is clear that you’re about to embark on a pure Hip-Hop journey. As the songs continue to roll in, the diversity of the album starts showing itself. “Infinite” is grimy, raw, unrelenting, yet smooth and dynamic. Each song carries its own vibe, with only slight exceptions, all while holding that specific Mobb Deep feeling.

It is best not to go into too much detail about individual songs, because they’re something every fan should experience for himself. It’s sufficient to say it’s going to be hard not to nod your head to bangers such as “My Era”, “Easy Bruh”, “Look At Me”, and “We The Real Thing”.

 

 

Features are placed at the right moments throughout the album. Each of them adds a different type of flavor to the already great Mobb Deep formula. The star-studded lineup of guests includes 2025 home-runners Clipse, classic collaborator Big Noyd, Wu Tang’s Ghostface Killah & Raekwon, and Queensbridge legend Nas; who appears on three songs. It seems apparent that everyone involved in the album’s creation approached it with absolute love.

“Infinite” encompasses everything that made Mobb Deep such an iconic act throughout the years, and successfully connects it in a whole. It gives you that raw portrayal of street life, paired with compelling lyricism and gritty production, which first cemented Mobb Deep’s place in Hip-Hop. It honors and leaves room for the sounds of their G-Unit era, and even manages to include two R’n’B-styled tracks, with vocals by Jorja Smith and H.E.R. Despite all that, “Infinite” can still surprise you at times, such as with the emotional note of “Pass The Henny.” Both Havoc and The Alchemist have truly worked wonders with the production.

Another thing that the project does sublimely is showcase Prodigy’s timelessness. His presence throughout the album is felt so heartly, that it’s hard to believe those verses were not recorded alongside Havoc’s. Not only have Havoc and The Alchemist shined on the production part, they’ve also created a beautiful tribute to P, who we all know left us way too soon.

 

Hip-Hop fans can only be delighted with the fact they’ve been gifted a classic Mobb Deep album in 2025, and one which is a powerful reminder that Mobb Deep’s spirit truly is “Infinite.”

You can purchase physical editions of “Infinite” via the Mass Appeal Shop or the HHV Records shop.

 

On the day of album’s release, Mobb Deep has also brought out a video for “Down For You,” with Nas and Jorja Smith.
