Mobb Deep Go “Against the World” on First New Song Since Prodigy’s Death

Mobb Deep have released their first song since the death of Prodigy in 2017.

“Against The World” is now out, and the track features the late rapper’s voice opening the song with, “Stronger than ever, I’m back n****a.”

Mobb Deep’s other half, Havoc, explained how he felt about the song to Rolling Stone. “This one feels like coming full circle,” said the rapper. “It’s that classic Mobb energy — dark, real, unfiltered. That sound that shaped who we are but also speaks to where hip-hop is right now.”

“Against The World” is the first single from the group’s upcoming album, Infinite that’s set to drop on Oct. 10 as a part of Mass Appeal Records’ Legend Has It series.

Earlier this month, Alchemist revealed how Infinite came together. “I had songs with P on it. [Havoc] had some songs, we had some stuff that we mixed up,” revealed the producer to Rolling Stone. “Some stuff we had to do beats, some stuff he was already on, and Hav just rhymed. But it really felt good that we put the energy back together and did it the way we were supposed to. That’s how we always did it. Hav does the majority of the album. I do a couple, I think I did four in the end.”

Mobb Deep’s new song is out a few months before its upcoming tour with Raekwon. In August, the two rap acts announced a co-headlining tour that celebrates the 30th anniversaries of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and The Infamous.

The tour kicks off in Portland, Oregon, on Nov. 13 and wraps up in Miami Beach, Florida, on Dec. 15.

In a statement, Havoc previewed what attendees will experience when they come to the shows. “The fans can expect nothing less than pure, raw, unfiltered energy on stage,” he said. “I’m excited to celebrate these two legendary albums—the world doesn’t exist to me without that purple tape in it. This will be a tour the fans will never forget.”

Raekwon also gave his thoughts to hype up fans. “Me and Havoc from Mobb will be pure hip-hop at its finest,” Raekwon said. “This is gonna take rap shows to the next level—guaranteed!”
