Havoc has officially wrapped a new Mobb Deep album featuring unreleased vocals from the late Prodigy and production from longtime collaborator The Alchemist.
“We got a new Mobb Deep album on the way,” Havoc revealed, adding that the project includes “official” verses from both himself and Prodigy. “This s### is official. It’s done. S### is mixed, mastered, ready to go.”
The album, titled Infinite, marks the duo’s first full-length release since 2014 and the first since Prodigy’s passing in 2017.
It’s part of Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It… series, curated by Nas, which celebrates Hip-Hop icons through unreleased and archival material.
Havoc revealed how the project came together, crediting The Alchemist for helping bring it to life.
“When we first started working on the album, I flew out to LA. Started f###### with Alchemist, because Alchemist probably got a ton of Prodigy verses,” he explained. “Had some s###. So it was only right that I teamed up with him, because, you know, Al’s family, so that’s how we did that s###.”

The Alchemist, who co-produced the entire album with Havoc, teased the project earlier this year.
“They did so much work, it was insane,” he said of Mobb Deep. “You could just peel back layers in Prodigy’s rhymes. He was ahead of his time.”
Alchemist continued, “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.”

The Alchemist and Havoc’s creative partnership dates back to the late 1990s, including their work on Murda Muzik and Prodigy’s solo catalog. Infinite will be the first official Mobb Deep release in a decade.
