Big Noyd

Signed to Tommy Boy Records on the strength of his powerful verse on Mobb Deep's "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)," Rapper Noyd's plans for his debut album, Episodes of a Hustla, were waylaid by an unexpected trip up north. With only a handful of completed songs in the can, it was left to Havoc to piece together this album, enlisting the talents of the extended infamous Mobb family to contribute the remaining thun language. Thanks primarily to the magic of Hav on the boards and the late, great Prodigy on vocal duties, Noyd's debut plays as the perfect companion piece to Hell on Earth - evoking the finest in anti-social, cold weather Bridge music for your ears to fear. In years to follow, Noyd has expanded his discography to include several albums, mixtapes and compilations, and has made countless guest appearances across a multitude of releases. Considered as the unofficial third member of Mobb Deep, Noyd has etched his place in hip-hop culture as an established veteran who's helped cement the irrefutable standing of Q-boro as NYC's most infamous borough! "The longest serving member of the Mobb Deep crew not named Havoc or Prodigy is Big Noyd." -UNKUT "Noyd was among the pack that made Queens Rap reign in the mid-'90s." -HipHopDX "The New York MC first made noise in rap in 1993 with a guest feature on 'Stop Em Out' off Mobb Deep's debut album 'Juvenile Hell.'" -XXL
