Mobb
Deep has been going strong for 20 years now and to celebrate, the duo has announced
a fan-supported campaign for their upcoming studio album, The Infamous Mobb
Deep. Also, Havoc and Prodigy plan to embark on a nationwide tour in March after
a slight break in the action.
Hav and P joined forces with PledgeMusic, a crowdfunding site
created by London musician Benji Rogers. Like many similar websites, PledgeMusic "s
“direct-to-fan” approach means supporters can pay varying levels
to get cool perks such as a signed copy of the new album, t-shirts, VIP listener
party and much more.
It "s hard to believe that it "s been almost two decades since the
world learned of Mobb Deep, who got their start when they were still teenagers.
The QB soldiers are gracious to still be fan favorites throughout the years.
"When this all started, we would have never thought that
20 years later we would still be around making music and touring." says
Havoc. "The loyal fans who have supported Mobb Deep for two decades, as
well as the new fans who are giving us the chance to still be relevant in an
ever changing music landscape will definitely appreciate this PledgeMusic campaign,"
adds Prodigy. "It "s a very special moment in our career."
"Mobb Deep has a profound connection with their fans and
really gives them credit to getting the group to where it is today. We are excited
to be working with such talented hip-hop legends who are genuinely passionate
about using the PledgeMusic platform to give back to their fans," commented
Benji Rogers, Founder & President of PledgeMusic.
To coincide with The Infamous album "s 20-years in existence, Mobb
Deep will hit the road in March for their 31-date tour in the United States
which kicks off in San Diego and ends in Chicago. The Infamous Mobb Deep will
be the group "s 8th official release and is slated to drop some time in April.
