== History ==
Friends since childhood, the Infamous Mobb members all grew up on Queensbridge's 41st side 12th Street. Gambino and Scarface were twin brothers; Twin Scarface died in a car crash in late 1996. The only known track released that Scarface appeared on is "All Pro" on [[Big Noyd]]'s debut album [[Episodes of a Hustla]]. Gotti briefly rapped with them but decided to become a [[Hip hop production|Producer]] and Manager for the group.

Infamous Mobb first appeared in 1994 on Mobb Deep's Demo Cuts mixtape for their 1995 album, ''[[The Infamous (album)|The Infamous]]''. On the final Album Ty Nitty appeared on "Party's Over", in the third verse along with [[Big Noyd]] although the other members were only included in the prelude skits.

Line 29 ⟶ 33:

In 2009 they did a collaboration track with the Italian rap group Club Dogo on their album ''Dogocrazia''. The track was called "Infamous Gang".

In 2011, Ty Nitty left the group (and cut ties with Mobb Deep) and launched his own label 'Love and Loyalty' records with his business partner Vinny Thunn. A public dispute between him and Prodigy of Mobb Deep erupted after Prodigy included Ty Nitty in the account of a confrontation between Mobb Deep, Infamous Mobb and [[Capone-N-Noreaga]] in P's autobiography 'My Infamous Life.'<ref>{{cite web|last=Burgess|first=Omar|title=Ty Nitty Takes Offense At Being Included In Prodigy's Autobiography|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.15110/title.ty-nitty-takes-offense-at-being-included-in-prodigys-autobiography|work=HipHopDX|date=May 13, 2011 |accessdate=May 13, 2011}}</ref>
