(AUDIO) Mobb Deep release G-Unit Records debut and end beef with Jay-Z…….

Mobb Deep released their new album, Blood Money, last week on 50 Cent’s G-Unit label. The album features guest appearances by 50 Cent, Nate Dogg, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, and Mary J. Blige. The latest single from the project is “Put Them In Their Place.” The group is hoping to bounce back after their last album 2004’s, Amerikaz Nightmare, failed to live up to expectations. The album was the group’s only release during their short-lived tenure on Jive Records.

Prodigy fired back at Jay-Z on several mixtapes and Mobb Deep released the song “Burn” featuring Vita and Big Noyd. The beef never took a violent turn and at the time, Prodigy dismissed it as just rap music drama. He said,
