On June 20, 2017 the music world lost one of Hip Hop’s finest, but also underrated lyricists in Albert Johnson aka Prodigy of the duo Mobb Deep. As part of Mobb Deep, Prodigy and his partner Havoc would bless us with nine studio albums, and as a solo artist, Prodigy would add on another seven albums and official mixtapes to bless us with. Succumbing to complications from Sickle Cell Anemia (an at times debilitating condition of which he had battled his entire life) Prodigy not only gave us a massive catalog of music, but also provided even more ill story-telling in his 2011 memoir “My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy.” P was one of a very small number of emcees from the nineties that transitioned into the new millennium without being dismissed by the masses as being passed over in changing times. Honestly, his storytelling grew more deep and descriptive in his later years (not to mention, his ability to tell crime rhymes for more than 25 years shows a pretty extreme level of creativity). So with respect to respect to our fallen Titan of Golden Era Hip Hop and beyond, enjoy a few videos that more properly illustrate just why we loved and will always love the one called Prodigy...
