Hip Hop heavyweights Mobb Deep are set to play 8 highly anticipated UK dates in London, Bristol, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Brighton and Oxford this summer.

Mobb Deep’s first UK tour in a decade will see the duo perform classic tracks from their now legendary ‘The Infamous’ album in full and international hit singles including 2005’s UK Number 1 ‘Outta Control’ (featuring 50 cent and produced by Dre), for the very first time in the UK.

Hailing from Queensbridge, New York, Mobb Deep released their landmark album ‘The Infamous’ 20 years ago in April 1995. ‘The Infamous’ combined their now trademark gritty, often violent lyrics with heavy, sample laden, atmospheric beats.

Going gold in its first three months, ‘The Infamous’ firmly established Mobb Deep at the very top of the US’s hardcore, hip-hop scene. Considered a hip-hop classic and sounding fresher today than many of its contemporaries, Pitchfork.com rates the album 10/10.

Marking this historic anniversary, and as an extra special gift to UK fans and collectors, VIP ticket holders will receive an exclusive autographed, strictly limited edition 20th Anniversary Vinyl and a personal pre-show meet and greet with Havoc and Prodigy.

The limited edition VIP vinyl is not available to buy and exclusive to UK VIP ticket holders.
“No rap group — maybe no act in any genre — has gotten more mileage from straight talk than Mobb Deep.” – The New York Times
