Bounty Killer feat. Mobb Deep and Big Noyd, “Dead Zone” (1998)
For the first Bounty/Mobb tête à tête, Bad Boy’s Nashiem Myrick, producer of Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya” among other gully ’90s rap classics, used the same Midnight Express theme sample that J Dilla would later sample for his oft-used “Phantom of the Synths” beat.
