A new Mobb Deep album is on the way, with The Alchemist, Havoc and Nas — yes, Nas — working together to make it happen.
Alchemist shared the news during an appearance on The Breakfast Club while discussing late Mobb Deep member Prodigy’s impact.

“They did so much work, it was insane. You could just peel back layers in Prodigy’s rhymes. He was ahead of his time,” Alc said.
“Their discography is unmatched. P’s legend lives. He did more than the average person while he was here, and he even left behind a lot of stuff,” he continued. “So we’re lucky enough to be working on a new Mobb Deep project.”
He then provided more details about the forthcoming project, saying that he and Havoc are handling the beats and that Nas “is involved” with it too.
“It feels great just to hear his voice again,” Alc added, referring to Prodigy. “We missed it. It’s a void not hearing his voice anymore.”
Previously, Havoc spoke of a new Mobb Deep album in the works last year.
While speaking with Elliott Wilson on the HipHopDX podcast, the rapper and producer shared that he was working on a new Mobb album that features a guest appearance from Prodigy’s daughter, Santana Fox, and raps from P himself.
"[It’s got] verses you've never heard from Prodigy, original tracks — I wish I could let you hear the whole thing. It's crazy," Havoc said. "I would say it's about 70 percent done. Still just gotta get a few features."
Hopefully, this is the album Alc was referring to. In the meantime, the producer has been making the rounds promoting
Life Is Beautiful, his joint album with Larry June and 2 Chainz. The trio were at The Breakfast Club for the recently released project, which
received some praisefrom Tyler, the Creator.
