Benny Reid - The Infamous Live

Benny Reid

The Infamous Live

Release date: March 24, 2023
Label: Benny Reid Prod.
Reimagining Mobb Deep's iconic 1995 opus 'The Infamous', NYC-based saxophonist and composer Benny Reid's ambitious new project is a collection of acoustic, sample-free renditions, built from the ground up, performed entirely by the multi-instrumentalist auteur. The forthcoming 'The Infamous Live' comes on the heels of Reid's Billboard-charting take of Eric B & Rakim's 'Follow The Leader'. From this, Mobb Deep's Havoc discovered his work and authorized him to reconstruct the timeless Mobb Deep album, giving Reid input and working with him in the studio to complete the project. His limited 7" of "Shook Ones Pt. II" previewing the project, sold out quickly upon release in December 2022. Reid is a forward-thinking jazz musician with a bent toward mixing expansive post-bop improvisation with atmospheric contemporary jazz styles. He released his first two albums on the prestigious Concord label and has been working with Fat Beats to create interesting, progressive tributes to the hip-hop albums that defined his youth.
