Prodigy of Mobb Deep
Best known as part of the Queensbridge hardcore rap duo Mobb Deep, Prodigy (Albert Johnson) and his partner Havoc hit the mainstream with their second album, 1995’s Infamous; two further outings, Hell On Earth in 1996 and Murda Musik in 1999, kept the pair a chart fixture. In between, a lyrical feud broke out with the late Tupac Shakur, who took a swipe at Prodigy’s battle with the blood disease sickle cell anemia on the song “Hit ‘Em Up.” (Mobb Deep responded with the track “Drop A Gem On ‘Em.”) But both members of the Mobb were also stretching their horizons: after appearing on Big Noyd’s 1996 album Episodes Of A Hustla, Prodigy duetted with the late Big Punisher on “Tres Leches” off Pun’s ’98 debut, Capital Punishment, and went solo on the hard-hitting joint “Don’t Be A Follower” off the Black and White soundtrack in 2000. Prodigy’s long-awaited solo debut, H.N.I.C., dropped late that year, featuring the track “You Can Never Feel My Pain” about his sickle cell struggles. |

He’s not married to the Mobb (Deep), but Prodigy’s solo joint sounds a lot like his old hardcore hip-hop hook-up! You got a problem with that? Didn’t think so…
