Mobb Deep - True Lies (Instrumental) (1997) (Prod. By Agallah the 8-Off)

Описание: **Reposted and remastered - due to fixing the audio levels and edited parts of the instrumental that were initially missed over.

A rare looped instrumental taken from an unreleased cut from Mobb Deep’s compilation mixtape from DJ Mister Cee entitled “Best of Mobb Deep”, first released in 1997.

The backstory of this song is this:

Mobb Deep had originally recorded this in 1996. This was the original version of “Nighttime Vultures” [w/ Raekwon] for the duo’s third album entitled “Hell on Earth” (released in late summer of ‘96). This was later released on a mixtape with another verse added from Havoc. And the production was totally different than the original beat (provided by Havoc).

A year later, the original version of “Nighttime Vultures” was released was on DJ Mister Cee’s compilation mixtape of various Mobb Deep classics and unreleased records (in 1997). That is when this song officially dropped as “True Lies”.

This was also featured on the duo’s “Back from a Hiatus” mixtape, released in 1998. A very rare find and a classic fan-favorite mixtape.

Also, you might have heard this on J-Love’s “Mobb Misses” mixtape from 1998, which also featured classic and unreleased verses of Mobb Deep.

Agallah the 8-Off handled this production on this beat.

(Fun fact: Sample of this song is derived from O.V Wright’s classic rare/unreleased record entitled “A Fool Can’t See The Light”, which was recorded and released back in 1976.)
