Fans have been anticipating a new Mobb Deep album for some time now. Last March, Havoc told the public that the new album would be released “by the end of the year” but the album has yet to drop.

Havoc recently sat down with Acton Entertainment and talked about the new album.

“That was a touchy situation because, obviously, the family has to be involved, and I didn’t want to do something selfish as in making a Mobb Deep album so fast […] making it like I wanna benefit off of my friend’s death,” Havoc said.” So I wanna give it time. I wanna give the family time. It’s not up to me. It’s up to the family.”

Havoc is hoping the new project gets the family’s approval, due to it being emotionally charged. “They’ll have 100% input in it. The perfect scenario for me is to have them there in the studio while I’m creating it to get their input,” he said. “I want to make sure that they’re happy with what I put forth […] and make P happy.”
