Dylan Green is a journalist, critic, and podcaster, as well as the founder, writer, and editor of Hearing Things, a thoughtful music publication. He's also the host and producer of the Reel Notes podcast. Dylan joins HT today to talk about Yash's favorite rap group of all time—the infamous Mobb Deep—and their new album Infinite, which Dylan recently reviewed for Pitchfork. We break down the album in detail: how it arrives as part of Mass Appeal's Legend Has It series, and what it means to the legacy of Mobb Deep more than eight years after the untimely passing of Prodigy. We dive into the album's highlights, production elements, and Alchemist's golden touch, as well as the challenges of putting together a posthumous record. We also get into Nas's role, for better or worse, and how referential music can succeed when it's done right. Dylan also shares his Top 5, featuring tracks from the late D'Angelo, Khadija Al Hanafi, FOHDH Matthew, and KrispyLife Kidd.
