Kejuan Muchita (born May 21, 1974 in Queens, New York), better known as Havoc, is a rapper/music producer, and one half of the rap duo Mobb Deep. He produces most of the tracks on every Mobb Deep album, and has produced songs for rappers such as Nas, Onyx, The Notorious B.I.G., Jadakiss, Method Man, The Game, LL Cool J, G-Unit, Lil' Kim and Jimmy Mserembo. In 2002 Havoc had released his solo album called "The One". The album has the song "The Illest" which was featured on Mobb Deep's "Free Agents: The Murder Mixtape. In spring of 2005, Mobb Deep was signed to fellow Queens rapper 50 Cent's record label G-Unit Records. However, in late 2006 there was speculation that the producer was at odds with label figurehead 50 Cent due to creative differences musically, but has yet to escalate into anything but rumor.
Havoc is renowned among serious hip hop fans as one of the prominent figures during the East Coast Rennaisance in the mid 1990s for his hard hitting and stripped down beats complementary to the RZA's work on Wu-Tang Clan projects. Following The Infamous, he tweaked his skills and transitioned to a more atmospheric production style which incorporates samples from classical music, most notably visible on the 1996 album Hell On Earth. As a rapper, he's known for his hardcore lyricism, deep voice and consistent flow. Although at first considered the lesser MC out of the duo this has arguably reversed as his flow has maintained whilst Prodigy's has reduced.
