More than five years after his solo debut, emcee/producer Havoc of the infamous Mobb Deep returns with his sophomore set 13.
As one half of legendary Queens duo Mobb Deep, Havoc has crafted countless hip hop classics, from “Shook Ones Pt. II” to “Drop A Gem On Em” to “Quiet Storm” and many more. The talented emcee/producer launched his solo career with 2007′s The Kush, and recently has been producing tracks for an A-list clientele that includes Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, Nas, and Jadakiss, among many others. Now, Havoc is returning with 13, a brand new solo album produced by the man himself. While he’s crafted more mainstream records in recent years, 13 finds Hav returning to his grimy roots.
“It’s Queens, it’s New York, it’s hardcore Mobb stuff,” he explains. “Real beats and lyrics that the fans will appreciate.” While solo albums give Havoc a chance to showcase his underrated mic skills, he also made to recruit some high-profile guests to share the spotlight, including Royce Da 5’9″, Lloyd Banks, Raekwon, Styles P, Twista, and more.”I’m a big fan of each MC on the album,” says Hav. “I wanted to involve the artists that I’m feeling these days.” The result is a cohesive, hard-hitting album that fans will undoubtedly appreciate. “It’s a great body of work,” says Havoc. “I feel like this should’ve been my first solo album.”

Baltimore-bred, Los Angeles-based emcee E Major presents the self-directed music video to “Zodiac Freestyle”, where he drops lyrics over Flying Lotus’ “Zodiac” instrumental. To that end, he finally achieved his dream of moving to Los Angeles, a gamble for an artist with the kind of support he commands in B-More. His 2011 album Better Than Yours had already made Baltimore City Paper’s top ten albums of 2010 – two years after dubbing his Majority Rules album “a classic” – by the time his 2010 hit “Paper Runnin’” started doing the rounds on 92Q, later remixed by local legend DJ Booman. Wielding common-sense lyricism and a relaxed, persistent flow which presides on equal footing over boom-bap and trap alike, E’s shared stages with Lupe Fiasco, Wale, and Little Brother and has gotten the nod from Okayplayer, MTV, VH1 and DJ Booth. E’s new album Baltimore Bruin is set for an August release.
