If the music industry were setup just like the sports industry, Mobb Deep would have been one of the biggest and best acts to hit the free agency market this summer. Maybe that’s what they had in mind when they titled their latest Album, Free Agents. Mobb Deep who were formally on Columbia Records, are now free agents and are looking to sign to another major label. But with more than ten years in the game, Mobb Deep is not just looking for just another deal to sign.

As Prodigy puts it on the remade track “Paid in Full”, “the next contract we sign will be monumental”. Mobb Deep is looking to owners in the game with their own label Infamous Records, which in my opinion is well deserved.
With this latest effort, Free Agents, Mobb Deep won’t have to wait long before the industry starts rushing their door. Free Agents is classic Mobb Deep. The kings of murda music are true to form on this joint. With killa beats and hot lyrics, the Mobb will really have ya’ head noddin’.

Prodigy is still deadly with the flow and Havoc is a monster on the board. Of course Mobb get their usual help-outs from Rapper Noyd, Infamous Mobb, and Alchemist. The surprise of the album, however, is the much improved rhyme skills of Havoc. Havoc has really stepped up his game as an emcee. Havoc really shines on tracks like, “Favorite Rapper” and “The Illest”, showing that he is more than just a sidekick or a beat maker for Prodigy.

There are very few, if any, low points on this Album. Overall, I say Mobb Deep’s Free Agents is a must have. This recommendation is not only for the hardcore Mobb fans, but also for anyone who just want to hear a good rap album.
