The 20th anniversary of Mobb Deep’s classic 1996 Hell on Earth album is coming up this year, and the Queensbridge duo is releasing new music and going on tour to celebrate. Much like they did with the 20th anniversary of The Infamous, Havoc and Prodigy will be releasing some unheard songs from their Hell on Earth recording sessions via a deluxe re-issue of the album. It’s unclear if this re-issue is the same or different from the new album that was rumored in fall of 2015.
The extensive tour is set to kick off on March 5, and features 38 stops across the United States. They’ll be joined by other OGs Tha Dogg Pound and Smif-N-Wessun on select dates, which you can find below.
That Dogg Pound is having its own resurgence, as Daz Dillinger and Kurupt just released a new album. Listen to a cut from it here. Prodigy has his own solo album in the works, and DJ Absolut shared a snippet of this week.
