Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough. @mobbdeepqb, Capone and Infamous Mobb, 1994. Imagine life as a young kid in the projects in the nineties. Queensbridge houses were no joke. @chimodu count four police cars in this picture. Straight NYPD and the old New York City housing police. Much respect and credit to those that came out of this chaos and created music that continues to impact the globe!
