Big Noyd- On The Grind (Monopolee)

by: Donnie Kwak

Since his memorable introductory verse on Mobb Deep’s The Infamous..., Big Noyd has rhymed with the same unrelenting fury. Whether spitting introspective lyrics (“Everybody”), a story rhyme (“We Real”), or something for the ladies (“Off the Wall”) or the thugs (“Hoody Like Dat”), Noyd never wavers from his inimitable high octane style on his sophomore LP. With consistent ’hood thumpers from Havoc, Ric Rude, and the Alchemist, and plenty of verses from a reinvigorated Prodigy, On the Grind is a genuine Mobb hit.
