Thirty years after releasing two of hip-hop’s most influential albums, Raekwon the Chef and Havoc of Mobb Deep are teaming up for a nationwide tour celebrating their respective 1995 classics.
Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, his debut solo album after breaking out with the Wu-Tang Clan, remains a cornerstone of mafioso rap. Produced entirely by The RZA and heavily featuring Ghostface Killah, the album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, went Gold, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
Mobb Deep’s The Infamous, the Queens duo’s breakout second album, took Havoc and the late Prodigy from underground hopefuls to street legends. Powered by grimy production and razor-sharp storytelling, it delivered timeless anthems like “Shook Ones Pt. II” and “Survival of the Fittest.” The project debuted at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 and cemented their place in East Coast rap history.
The upcoming month-long tour will feature Raekwon and Havoc performing in a single set together, with stops across the U.S. and Canada. It kicks off November 13 in Portland, OR, and wraps December 15 in Miami Beach, FL.
