"Havoc takes us back to Queensbridge, breaking down his origins and his family’s deep musical roots — from a jazz musician grandfather to a DJ father. He explains how he discovered his passion for music at just 13 years old, inspired by Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane. He reflects on the pressure of representing Queens, home to legends like Juice Crew, Marley Marl, Roxanne Shanté, and MC Shan. Havoc then reveals how Mobb Deep’s first album Juvenile Hell came together — including how Prodigy’s grandmother bought their first equipment and how he learned production using the ASR EPS Plus keyboard. Havoc details how he created early heat like Shook Ones Pt. 1 and Shook Ones Pt. 2, his mindset while producing, and the iconic samples behind tracks like “Temperatures Rising,” “It’s Mine,” and “Down For You.” He also shares how Prodigy left his own deal to join him, how getting dropped after Juvenile Hell fueled their hunger, and how they ultimately landed with Loud Records — setting the stage for greatness. This is raw hip-hop history from Havoc himself." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
