‘People don’t under­stand your vis­ion until you paint them a pic­ture. That’s just life’

A deep first line from Hav­oc of Mobb Deep, out­lining the struggles of an artist. Mobb Deep are one of my favour­ite rap groups of all time, they always had so many stor­ies to share which had me on the edge of my seat, expan­ded my mind and the way I thought about life. Now I can get my inform­a­tion fix from Havoc’s per­son­al web­site — HavocofMobbDeep.com. You can sign up for free to see exclus­ive short video ‘stor­ies’ of some of his life exper­i­ences. And these snip­pets come with wise words of wis­dom, now older and more spir­itu­al. Hav­oc wants to share his life exper­i­ences to help oth­ers who might now be going through sim­il­ar low points that he was once in him­self. There is strength in shar­ing some of your deep­est emo­tion­al tur­moil. It lets oth­ers know they are not alone and wheth­er they are hip hop heads or not – it inspires us all.

Hav­oc touches on vari­ous top­ics, from the shock of the death of the oth­er half of Mobb Deep – Prodigy, may his soul rest in Peace, to sur­viv­ing a shootout and main­tain­ing a cham­pi­on mind­set. How to take your­self to the next level men­tally which is some­thing I find is sparkly shared in circles of eth­nic minor­it­ies. Hav­oc shares those point­ers we always wish someone would have told us when we are left nav­ig­at­ing uncer­tainty or mis­for­tune and how to handle ourselves with grace. These stor­ies are real, raw and emo­tion­al. A very genu­ine insight into Havoc’s mind, he told me, “I try to give my audi­ence the real side and the not always glam­or­ous side”. I feel like I can learn a lot from these short videos when it comes to deal­ing with anger, loss or neg­at­ive emotions.

Hav­oc and Prodigy were like broth­ers who under­stood each oth­er and now Hav­oc says will con­tin­ue the Mobb Deep leg­acy just how Prodigy would have wanted. Mobb Deep fan or not, if you are in need of some pos­it­iv­ity and want to hear some intriguing insights check out havocofmobbdeep.com.
