Apparently, I'm the only person without a copy of the fourth Mobb Deeprecord, Murda Muzik. The record has been leaked and widelybootlegged, both through traditional methods and through the internet, says Jonathan Lighty, Mobb Deep's manager and the album's executive producer.|

"We've got reports that it's into Virginia, [Washington] D.C., Maryland and Miami," Lighty says. "[It's] just all over the East Coast."

"I've heard that it's on three different sites," he says. "One site isselling different tracks; one site is selling the whole album."

According to Lighty, the "official Queensbridge murderers" are not planningto take the digital pilfering lying down. "We're going through [the legal]process right now," he says. "We're getting lawyers together [to bring alawsuit]."

There are other concerns with the album, Lighty says, namely the product'sfreshness. "We stopped recording seven months ago," he says. "They wantedto get some more new shit [and] tighten up the album."

Murda Muzik is being re-issued to the media, but Lighty is confidentthat it will be well received. "We already got 4 1/2 mics in The Source," hesays. The album, one of the year's most awaited, was scheduled for an April27 release, but is delayed until July 13. - Adam Matthews
