There’s a new Mobb Deep album in the works.
The Alchemist made an appearance on The Breakfast Club on Wednesday (Feb. 12) to promote his new album, Life Is Beautiful, with Larry June and 2 Chainz, where he broke the news after praising the late Prodigy‘s work ethic and writing skills.
“They did so much work, it was insane,” he said of the legendary group’s unreleased tracks. “You could just peel back layers in Prodigy’s rhymes. He was ahead of his time. 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, so we’re lucky enough to be working on a new Mobb Deep project.”
He then added that he and Havoc have been manning production duties while also revealing that Nas is helping out on the project as well. “It’s me and Hav doing the beats. Nas is involved. It feels great just to hear his voice again. We missed it. It’s a void not hearing his voice anymore.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the “Meet the Grahams” producer talked about finding himself in the middle of the Kendrick and Drake battle. “It happens a lot to me,” he admitted in regards to rappers using his beats for diss records. “I try to tell rappers that I’m Switzerland — leave me out it — but they end up making me the battleground. I’m indifferent to it. I don’t have a dog [in the fight], I make beats.”
2 Chainz also found himself involved when Kendrick name-dropped him in the third verse of “Not Like Us” when he rapped, “Chainz say you good, but he lied.” However, the Atlanta rapper chalked it up to creative wordplay.
