BIG NOYD | ILLUSTRIOUS | 1/22/08

Big Noyd has been a Queensbridge legend since his opening line on the Mobb Deep’s song “Give Up The Goods (Just Step).” First getting shine way back in ‘93 on Mobb Deep’s debut album, Juvenile Hell, Noyd continued to make show-stopping appearances on nearly every following Mobb Deep album. His 1996 debut album, Episodes of a Hustler, was released during a period of incarceration for the infamous Big Noyd. Nevertheless, many consider it a classic.

Big Noyd returns with the release of his new album, Illustrious, due out January 22^nd, 2008 on KOCH Records. The album is executive produced by Lil’ Fame of M.O.P. and features appearances by Joell Ortiz, Kira, and Serani.
