The group were among the first hip hop artists to release full-length albums independently with 1990's The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and 1992's Game of Death, at a time when major labels were the most popular way to release music.[2][3]

Mob Style was one of the first New York gangsta rap groups.[4] In the 1980s, group leader Azie "A.Z." Faison was the largest individual drug dealer in New York City.[5]

The group reunited in 2003 to release their final album, Blood On My Money.

gollark: Just saying "prevent corruption" isn't a very useful thing to say, I mean, since most people don't like it but can hardly do much about it.
gollark: That sounds more like a vague goal than something actionable.
gollark: Oh dear.
gollark: So it's more like "things Denmark and Sweden do and why I think they're great"?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, I would be a bit dubious of a plan to "change the economy and political structure for a better, stronger, richer country that puts citizens first", inasmuch as presumably if there was an easy/comparatively obvious way to do that some countries would likely already try this.
