Remembering Prodigy of Mobb Deep on his heavenly birthday 🕊️🎂
Born in Hempstead and raised in Queensbridge, Prodigy helped put Queensbridge on the hip-hop map. He and Havoc came up together in New York and rose to fame with Mobb Deep’s raw, unmistakable sound and classics like “Shook Ones, Pt. II” and “Survival of the Fittest.”
Their landmark albums The Infamous and Murda Muzik both earned platinum status, cementing Mobb Deep’s place in hip-hop history. Prodigy passed away on June 20, 2017, at 42. He would have turned 52 today. 🖤
