Native Instruments MPC Expansion - Queensbridge Story

Step into the gritty heart of East Coast hip hop with East Coast Infamy, a hard-hitting Expansion created by Mobb Deep’s legendary producer, Havoc. With a legacy forged in the streets of Queens, New York, Havoc has carved out an unmistakable sound, and now you can harness that very energy in your productions. From his iconic work with Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., and 50 Cent to his recent contributions to Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, Havoc’s raw and refined aesthetic continues to shape hip hop’s evolving soundscape.

This Expansion includes 50 MASCHINE kits, 61 BATTERY kits, and over 1,200 samples and one-shots curated by Havoc himself. Add extra punch to your beats with 77 exclusive MASSIVE presets, or get creative quickly using the included MASCHINE-exclusive patterns, projects and multi-effects macros. Whether you’re producing boom bap, trap, or experimental urban styles, East Coast Infamy is a direct line to the golden era sound fused with today’s cutting-edge polish.
