This full episode features an interview with Prodigy and Noyd, plus a freestyle over a fresh batch of unreleased Marley Marl beats to end it off with a bang. This was a time in between the release of Mobb Deep's "The Infamous" and "Hell On Earth" albums, there is a definite hunger and urge for recognition to be heard from the Queensbridge duo in this episode. Pete Rock spins a nice selection of 1996 treats, pulling from a variety of major label and underground releases to break records in the true tradition of a DJ.
This episode is a good addition to your purchase of "Hell On Earth", hopefully it encourages you to revisit the album and an era which Mobb Deep dominated with a dark style of street cinema to influence the direction of Hip Hop for years to come.
