Misanthropic Lagosian. Lagos is somewhere in Africa, idiot. I dig fried plantains, women that can make fried plantains, racism, econometrics, soccer, basketball, Nas, Freddie Gibbs, Juicy J and whisky. Some other unimportant shit too. Talk to me on twitter or tumblr.

The Nowhere Men by Michael Calvin Glow by Rick James| The Tourist Who Would Be King: Mark Ronson’s Undeniable New Funk | January 20, 2015 |
Art by El Ronzo Deen wears vintage suits to cop loosies I know this shit is about to sound like a backhanded compliment but there’s definitely a use for some of these cultural tourist ass niggas that synthesize old sounds into new sounds that serve as introductions to the old shit for the masses. Or in […]
| Mama I’m So Sorry: Rob Gullatte & Show Louis “Break” | December 15, 2014 |
MobbDeen ain’t have no muffin money It’s immediately clear from the opening twangy notes of “Break” that you’re listening to some shit in the tradition of classic Pimp C all the way down to newer beat-smiths like DJ Burn One and Big KRIT. Basically, country rap tunes. Credit for this earthy concoction, give or take a cowbell or two, […]
Deen is on the block like he’s eight feet tall I don’t recall exactly how I learned that Gangsta Gibbs and the legendary/destined to be foreverly underrated, yet, I suspect, properly paid producer, Mike Dean were working together. I imagine that it was either via Twitter, Instagram or both, given that I haven’t learned anything […]
The Curious Case of the Chain-Less 3 Migos
Deen is a beast – his dog got a dog You know what I could get used to? A new generation of rappers mining that mafioso rap aesthetic that did some damage back in the mid-90s and did everything from giving us a slew of classic albums and artists to influencing some of the better […]

| Ask Deen: Namaste Ho | October 27, 2014 |
Deen is fully equipped to give advice as he is a licensed attorney in the state of Texas. Unlike the other column I said I’d try to do weekly, I actually have worthy material for what we’re simply calling ‘Ask Deen…’ No offense to the Twitter rap folks that have sent me shit in the […]
| Dave East Will Take Your Money and Your Beat | October 22, 2014 |
Mobb Deen swears he will never stop rapping the N Word. Every other year or so, I add a new rapper to my roster of ‘niggas I sorta stan’ for. That last addition to that list was LE$. Before him, it was Vince Staples. It’s beginning to look like 2014 is going to belong to […]
| Ask Mobb Deen: An Advice Column | October 16, 2014 |
Deen is fully equipped to give advice as he is a licensed attorney in the state of Texas. A little while ago, I put word out on Twitter about getting questions from you lovely folks, the readers. Here’s the thing (and I know a lotta y’all are gonna find this hard to believe), I’ve always […]
Deen wanted Jordan’s with the blue suede on it I get the sense that a bunch of writers smarter and more generous with their time than me have written about how we all discover new music in 2014. I’m here to reveal a dirty secret: we all make mean and funny quips about how we […]
