Mobb Deep's Survival of the Fittest Single Anniversary

‘Survival of the Fittest’ was produced by Havoc at his apartment in Queensbridge, where the duo worked on The Infamous album. The instrumental for the song is based on a sample from the 1976 song "Skylark" by The Barry Harris Trio and Al Cohn. According to Prodigy, Havoc didn't like the beat at first and wanted to delete it. Prodigy asked him to play the beat to their friends and they convinced him to keep it. The lyrics for the song were written in one day. According to Schott Free, Q-Tip helped program the drums for the song. Read more about Mobb Deep here.
