Although Mobb Deep is on a kind of hiatus (with co-member Prodigy serving a three and a half year jail sentence), that has not stopped Havoc from remaining creative. His latest effort is a mixtape entitled From Now On that explores the same street themes common of every Mobb Deep release over the past fifteen years (violence, drugs, ladies, being a target, inevitable death). While some tracks are downright lame (a whole song about making a sex tape!?), things are short and tight throughout ("That's How You Feel" might be the hottest 77-second track ever) with some tracks lasting just long enough for Havoc to drop a verse. Short on guest appearances (except the last few tracks which are pulled from other releases), this also helps to keep things moving along. Although it is a Havoc release, there are still moments in which he acknowledges his partner ("Letter to P") and prove that although the Mobb Deep career has been full of ups and downs, this is a smooth little mixtape to add to their overall catalogue.
