Prodigy (born Albert Johnson on November 2, 1974, in Hempstead, New York), is an American rapper and one-half of the hip-hop duo Mobb Deep. He recently signed with G-Unit’s record label, along with other member of Mobb Deep, Havoc. He’s currently facing a 3 1/2 year sentence for illegal weapon possession.
Acknowledged as the more skilled member of the duo Mobb Deep on the mic, Prodigy spent years making a name for himself alongside partner Havoc on acclaimed albums such as Hell on Earth 1996 and Murda Muzik 1999 before releasing his first solo album, H.N.I.C., on Loud Records in late 2000. With this album, Prodigy teamed up with a roster of outside producers such as the Alchemist and Rockwilder, trying to prove his own without Havoc’s production to carry him. And even though Havoc did appear on two tracks, Prodigy undoubtedly proved himself to be a visionary solo artist, even going as far as to produce a couple songs himself. Though the album didn’t elevate him to the superstar status of Jay-Z or DMX, Prodigy did win the hearts of both critics and fans alike as he had with his work in Mobb Deep, dropping harsh reality-based rhymes about the darker side of urban life with an unbalanced and sedate flow.
His newest record “Return of the Mac” reached number 32 on the Billboard Chart in 2007. “H.N.I.C 2” will be released in March.
