1) Albert Johnson (born November 2, 1974 in Bradford, Brooklyn, New York and died on June 20, 2017 in Las Vegas), better known by his stage name Prodigy, was a member of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep. Prodigy worked as a solo artist since the early 2000s. He was born to parents of Ethiopian and Jamaican descent. Prodigy was born with sickle cell anemia and suffered from the disease throughout his life. Propelled to awareness partially by fellow Queens, New York rapper Nas, who took a similar approach lyrically on his championed "Illmatic" album from 1994, as well as with the aid of a successful single, "Shook Ones Pt. 2," Mobb Deep suddenly found themselves developing a quickly growing cult. A year later, in 1996, Prodigy and Havoc released "Hell on Earth"; debuting at number six on SoundScan, the album found them fully realizing their approach, dropping both evocative beats and cinematic rhymes that communicated the dark side of New York's urban landscape. Thanks to a grim video for "Hell on Earth (Front Lines)" and theatrical Scarface-like photos inside the CD booklet picturing the duo with guns and a mound of cocaine, Mobb Deep had created an elaborate image for themselves that took hardcore gangsta rap to a new level for East Coast hip hop. Their next release, "Murda Muzik", was heavily bootlegged while still in its demo stage, leaking rough versions of the nearly 30 songs the duo had recorded onto the streets and over the internet.
Months after the bootlegs leaked and after several pushed-back street dates, "Murda Muzik" was formally released, debuting at number three on the Billboard charts and quickly going platinum on the strength of "Quiet Storm," a song that epitomized the Mobb Deep style. The album was welcomed by critics, who again lauded the group's lucid cinematics, driven primarily by Havoc's production. In late 2000, Prodigy finally released his long-rumoured solo album, "H.N.I.C.", which saw the more lyrically gifted member of the group collaborating with outside producers such as The Alchemist and Rockwilder on tracks that didn't depart far from the trademark sullen Mobb Deep style. Their follow-up, "Infamy", was the duo’s last album for Loud, distributed by Columbia Records and was, for some, a disappointment lyrically and musically, while others praised it as amongst the best rap albums of the year. Loud was absorbed by its new distributor shortly afterwards.
Mobb Deep then signed with Jive, under a unique deal that gave the duo its own imprint, Infamous Records, and released "Amerika'z Nightmare", a very uneven effort, which featured production by The Alchemist and Lil' Jon. However, despite a successful single that featured a Thomas Dolby sample. The duo was not happy with Jive, and were let go at its request. The duo took a hiatus afterwards and came back in 2006, signing to 50 Cent’s Interscope/Universal-distributed G-Unit imprint. Their well-hyped "Blood Money" was a failure from the money side when compared to fellow label mates like 50 Cent, Young Buck and Lloyd Banks. Some accused the duo of selling out, with their beats and rhymes not up-to-par with previous efforts on Loud.
He completed work on his third solo album "H.N.I.C. Part 2", which was previewed on his official mixtape "The Return of the Mac" on the independent label Koch Records. The mixtape single and mixtape video are called "Mac 10 Handle," and it shows Prodigy once again reverting to his trademark braids that he had prior to the release of Mobb Deep's 2004 "Amerika'z Nightmare" album; different from the short fade he had from 2004 to 2006. "H.N.I.C. Pt. 2 was released through Voxonic Inc., of which Prodigy is an equity holder.

Prodigy Lyrics
Oh yeah uh
Yeah yeah
This is how we murder shit Chop sumn
Pop sumn
Down to the floor, leave that boy burnin'
It's P now you learnin' it
Mind on the purple shit pass me the kush
Let me show you what I'm workin' with
I stab a nigga
Have a nigga bloody on the cement
I don't look for trouble so
Don't give me a reason
Bounce your fuckin' head on the
Ground like a ball cuz I do 'em dirty
Leave 'em blurry on the floor
'Cuz that blood get in they eyes
I Mobb on these niggas, b
You F 'round, you go to
Sleep, mess around and die, see
I live for my kids and the universe need me
Grab the earth, and shake it repeatedly
Now shorty don't quit, get it, get it
Let me see you move it twerk that body, body
Love the way the way you do it
(This is Catch Body Music)
Girl, I get you bodied you can be yourself
And let it all out with me mami
Shorty don't quit, get it, get it

(This is Catch Body Music)
Girl, I get you bodied you can be yourself
And let it all out with me mami

Dice 'em
Carve 'em up real nice like cold cut slices
Las Vegas P - is at the crap tables
I'm throwin' G's, and I'm comin' up
Yeah, show you how to win
Show 'em where to begin
But where you gon' end up is in god's plans
I can't make the jackass drink the water
But I can look out for 'em
And show 'em where it's at
(where it's at)
I'm so hungry, that I could eat a horse
I'm so thirsty
I could drink the horse blood
Contrary to your belief, P is that shit
You ain't gotta like my style
My fans hold me down
Now shorty don't quit, get it, get it
Let me see you move it twerk that body, body
Love the way the way you do it

Fresh off the grain
Banana clip P, bandanna on, my chain-
Shit run through my veins, I could never fail
I could only get iller, could only prevail
Click clack, when it gets like that

Uh, a lil' too late for that, go to hell
Yo, this is how dun gangsters
They be hall-of-famers
But playin' dangerous games, I
Make you famous, see
This is how I slaughter them
And I mean all o' them
Rapper talk back, rapper get clapped
All o' them (all o' them)
And then we find more a' them

Exterminate all o' them
Get up on dem broad dem, love and record them
Then play it for my niggas
