Kejuan Muchita (born May 21, 1974), better known as Havoc, is an MC, record producer and one half of the hip-hop duo Mobb Deep with Prodigy. He is of Igbo descent.
Biography
Havoc produces most of the tracks on every Mobb Deep album, and has produced songs for MCs such as Method Man, Eminem, Nas, Foxy Brown, Onyx, O.G.C., The Notorious B.I.G., Jadakiss, Styles P, Game, Diddy, LL Cool J, La The Darkman, Big Noyd, Termanology, Jimmy Mserembo, Capone-N-Noreaga, and his own partner Prodigy on his solo work. In the spring of 2005, Mobb Deep was signed to fellow Queens rapper 50 Cent's record label G-Unit Records. However, in late 2006 there was speculation that the producer was at odds with label figurehead 50 Cent due to creative differences musically, but was later proven false by both of their representatives. It was however proven true in late 2009 when it was reported that 50 Cent dropped the duo from the label.[1]
Havoc is renowned among serious hip-hop fans as one of the prominent figures during the mid-1990s for his hard-hitting and stripped-down beats complementary to the RZA's work on Wu-Tang Clan projects. Following The Infamous, he tweaked his skills and transitioned to a more atmospheric production style that incorporated samples from classical music, most notably visible on the 1996 album Hell on Earth. As an MC, he is known for his hardcore lyricism, deep voice, and consistent flow. He also contributed background vocals and a verse on Black Moon's debut album Enta da Stage in 1993.
In July 2009, Havoc was featured alongside Raekwon in J Dilla's music video for "24K Rap" off of the Jay Stay Paid album, the video was directed by Derek Pike.
In 2010, Havoc produced a beat for Eminem which resulted in a song called "Untitled" which is a hidden track on Eminem's album Recovery and contributed to the iTunes bonus track to Raekwon's album Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang. Revealed that Mobb Deep will be preforming The Infamous album for Rock The Bells 2011 and plans on recording a new Mobb album with Nas.[2]
