Mobb Deep stood tall as East Coast hardcore rap figureheads on the basis of their epochal album The Infamous.

Released in April 1995, The Infamous was released almost exactly a year after Illmatic and about half-a-year after Ready to Die -- the debut masterpieces of Nas and The Notorious B.I.G., respectively, and likewise albums of momentous significance for East Coast hardcore rap.
