A style of
street slang generally used by East Coast MCs, such as Mobb Deep, Big Noyd, Nas, Wu Tang, etc. The word dunn is said to have
originated in the Queensbridge housing projects from a friend of Prodigy's whose speech impediment prevented him from pronouncing the common term 'son'. Other terms in the dunn language include
word is bond, slug (bullet), and crab (coward). Mobb Deep is most commonly associated with the dunn language based on their two bootleg albums entitled 'The Dunn Language' and 'The Dunn Language Part II', and various references to it in their lyrics.
