Mobb Deep’s Prodigy Officially Released From Prison

    UPDATE (3/7): Mobb Deep’s Prodigy officially finished his three-year prison sentence Monday. Various sources reported P would be released this week, and the emcee wasted no time confirming his release, as he sent a photo via Twitter. Despite no longer being signed to G-Unit records, all is apparently well between 50 Cent and Prodigy. The G-Unit founder was one of the first to shout out P upon his release, and he also had Prodigy’s first photo as a free man watermarked with the ThisIs50 logo.

    While Prodigy has been serving three years in a correction facility for criminal possession of a weapon, Havoc has kept working. Monday, March 7 will be the day the two will reunite as that is the scheduled date for P’s release and according to a XXL interview with Hav, the duo’s schedule will be hectic. 

     

    “[Prodigy] is ready is touch the town, go home, get to work [and] catch up on a lot of shit that he missed,” Hav noted before adding that Prodigy’s mentality on rhyming has somewhat changed a bit, in a positive manner. “Instead of writing records recklessly, he wants them to mean something.”

    Havoc also added that a new Mobb Deep album is in the works but there is no home for the album after an amicable split with G-Unit. 

    “It was a problem for Interscope, where I guess they felt that we didn’t sell enough records for them at that time…So they let us go off the roster and we was like, the stipulations in contracts was real technical so after that I think the G-unit contracts just expired…[But] we [won’t] stay homeless for long.”

    Prodigy will also be busy promoting his new memoir, My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, which will drop April 19.

      1. Either way, it was a chapter in their lives. Or they could just go the 50 route and get em lasered off!

        Dope music @ reverbnation.com/miketwain – Check me out!

    1. Fuck G-Unit, let’s get that old Mobb shit back again. Let’s get a collab with the Chef, Ghost, Nas, Meth.

    2. I always viewed the union b/w Mobb & G-Unit as a bad situation. You can tell all of a sudden Hav & P started singing on their hooks and making “Club-happy” joints on that last album. You can also tell they were out of their element, parts of that album felt un-natural, kinda forced, even though in all the album wasn’t bad. Like most REAL Mobb Deep fans, I just want that good ole, dark, grimmy Mobb album, that would be a good look for real.

      1. I disagree. I thought initially that it would be a weak album, but I was surprised at how good the Blood Money album was, and how grimey it was. Even the ‘club bangers’ were grimy and had a Mobb feel to them. I think G-Unit is a good label. I’m not a big fan of most of their artists, but I do think alot of quality Hip-Hop music comes from that label, and I think their artists have a lot of creative freedom that they wouldn’t necessarily get on another label. I hope they re-sign with G-Unit.

    3. Hmmm, let’s see what they’ve got in stock in the future. I think signing to Raekwon’s IceH2O label would be a good move for them.

      1. fucking hell yea. ICEh20 would be ill for Prodigy and H-A-V-O-C!! a cnn / mobb track would be the illest reunion

    4. they will still be with the unit, 50 went to visit p in jail.. as soon as P get out n get his shit together they will be back making bangas with banks!!!!

    5. would be cool if they signed with shady. Em would let them do their thing and they would get the promotion. if they go indie or to raekwons they wont sell anything and im a big mobb fan and i wanna see them sell some records and put some good shit out at the same timee

    6. Sensaye –

      Mobb Deep had absolutely no creative freedom on that Blood Money album. It might as well have been one of 50’s albums. The Mobb album I thought got slept on was Amerika’s Nightmare.

      1. Word? I thought Amerikkkas Nightmare was kinda weak by Mobb standards. To me, Blood Money was their best album together since Murder Music.

    7. Yeah! Just imagine how stretched his asshole is after all of that jail time. I bet I could fit my arm in it!

    8. that nigga 50 should have been there when he took this picture, nigga could have made a few C-notes shoveling all that snow.

    9. Glad you out homey. The Infamous is the my favorite rap album of all time. Keep doing the music P.

    10. better make a good assed mobb deep album cuz a lot of they shit been trash. especially compared to the shit they used to have. all these rappers need to get back to making independent shit, to bring back what hiphop needs.

    11. Welcome Home My G!

      Queens gon be letting them thangs off tonite in celebration…

      Can’t wait to bump HNIC 3!

    12. Welcome back P. There’s a shortage on real niggas and nice MCs in Hip-Hop, so your presence was missed.

    13. I still rate Prodigy’s rhymes highly, hopefully this will be a turning point, looking forward to hearing what he has to offer next.

    14. IDK what a lot of you are talking about but everything after HNIC Part 2 WAS HORRIBLE. It was like dude forgot how to rap. I’m glad he is out, don’t get me wrong, but if P doesn’t bring the heat like on Hell On Earth – I’m not checking for his shit. Period.

    15. Confirm a day to ride, a double edge saw to spencer chest, the whole head pieace as in, is absolute gangster and gotti jesus disciple your life is during the night between 10:00 and 1:00 empty out with silencers spencer whole clip, it is gaza jesus The God and gaza GOD and He son life spencer and that shehe man clip is nothing to GOD in terms of brotherhood, relationship, ties and order and them splash domn the wall, pavement, sink is Gaza GOD and He son. peace g unit one
