Mobb Deep “The Infamous”
30th Anniversary Tribute Mural
Much love to Queens for coming out to celebrate our new mural, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mobb Deep’s legendary album, “The Infamous…”.
Painted by @eli503labworldwide, @andaluztheartist and @guerra.benny, the mural highlights the album cover’s iconic photo of Havoc and Prodigy, as taken by the late great hip hip photographer @chimodu.
Known for his murals of Nas, Prodigy, and other hip-hop legends, Eli Salome-Diaz brings over 30 years of experience as a street artist and community voice. Through his Urban Renaissance Collective, he uses public art to inspire pride and neighborhood revitalization.
The large-scale art piece brings street art back to Long Island City, also honoring the memory of 5Pointz, the former graffiti site right across the street that was once considered the global center of graffiti and street art.
“This was an opportunity where everything aligned to tell an iconic story,” said @bamitsbernie, Creative Director at Extra Butter. “Our founding families are from Queens, and uplifting these neighborhoods has been a mission since day one. The mural honors ‘The Infamous…’, which even inspired the name of our speakeasy bar. We hope it helps give Mobb Deep their flowers.
Be sure to catch a flick of the mural the next time you visit Extra Butter LIC and the Infamous Bar.
