The group were among the first hip hop artists to release full-length albums independently with 1990's The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and 1992's Game of Death, at a time when major labels were the most popular way to release music.[2][3]

Mob Style was one of the first New York gangsta rap groups.[4] In the 1980s, group leader Azie "A.Z." Faison was the largest individual drug dealer in New York City.[5]

The group reunited in 2003 to release their final album, Blood on My Money.
