Some more info, although not much
It's kind of been a poorly kept secret until now but supposedly you're working on a new Mobb Deep album completely produced by The Alchemist. Care to dish out any details?
Prodigy: We've just been working on the beginnings of it. We've got a few joints knocked out; it's coming along. It'll be out soon. [Alchemist producing the album] is the plan right now. I'm sure Hav will have something on there or they'll probably be collaborating on a few joints here and there but we had an idea like, 'Yo, let's do something different and have Al do the whole album.' We just wanted to do something different and get some new excitement. I'm sure the fans would appreciate it.
Alchemist has been long a part of the Mobb camp, really since Murda Muzik. Talk about that dynamic, then and now.
Havoc: We met him through [DJ] Muggs. Muggs was working on some project back in the late ‘90s or something like that and we connected [with Alchemist] ever since. He had that sound that fit Mobb Deep well and we were lucky to have a dude like that around. We've all been cool ever since. He started producing a lot of our singles as well as album cuts and we've kept him around. He's like an honorary Mobb Deep member without the contract.
Moving forward, jumping into 2015, Mobb Deep is still here. We making albums and in the midst of making these albums we just like to come up with ideas like, 'why don't we do a new album like this? Why don't we do a new album like that or why don't we do a new album with Alchemist?' We've been throwing around ideas, and making a few songs. Nothing really etched in stone but it's just an idea that we're throwing around. How much that album will become a reality [is] based around how we fit [it in] our schedules, as far as touring and things of that nature.
Possible release date that you're targeting?
Havoc: Nah, not yet. If I could say tentatively, I would say definitely coming out this year.
