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.

Delt With the Bullsh*t
Prodigy Lyrics
Dunn it's real like that
Uh huh yeah uh huh yeah (uh huh) yeah, ha
(solo on that ass? dealt with the bullshit)
Check me out dunn (yeah)
Check me out now (out yo)
Yo feel me on the road, feel me at the shows
Feel me for what I stand for
And I'mma do it til the death
Til I can't no more
Fuck a ho, it's all about dough
Still, fuck her and still don't love em
That's word to mother
Un-cover the truth, enjoy my youth
It's die or lose
I wonder what if I was sittin in the pen
On the strength that I had to hurt something
Cuz my stomach hurtin i'm a cool nigga
But don't let me start buggin
Love my moms, love my little sis
Plus my little dunn
Niggas gotta eat, fuck settling for crumbs
Hell no, me a bum on the streets looking dumb
Til hell freezes over yo
Y'all niggas better run
Cuz I done dealt with the bullshit
Lived through the bullshit
So put a clamp on them loose lips
My niggas do kill shit (pow pow, pow pow pow)
Guns redundant my dunns move in abundance
We loose cannons, my rugar will pop somethin
What's all the frontin
Being cavilier will get you nothing
Or maybe touched though
Keep pressing me and we be thumpin
Like The Lords vs the Hawks
When little boy got a foot
Long stuck in his back
And punctured his lungs
It's very brutal, how the NIC will do you
Yo get KO'ed and pissed on for being rude
Yeah, respect the colors and the flag i wave
Respect the IMD embroidery
My shit is classic and authentic blowin dick
Y'all niggas grafting my whole presence
Get your own shit
My voltage, be higher than the wire pole get
King vulture
More flyer than your average rap pigeon
Now, twist up your cheebas
I get deeper in depth
My rap page make niggas throw
They reefer at us
Love me, bless me, like you supposed to do
Just don't test me niggas I be toasted up
What (echoes)
Cuz I done dealt with the bullshit
And lived through the bullshit
Cuz I done dealt with the bullshit
Lived through the bullshit
(no doubt no doubt, yeah yeah yeah)
So put a clamp on them loose lips
My niggas do kill shit (pow pow, pow pow pow)
My style, identical to guns that burst
I'm like a fourth when I go off
Or even worse
It's like an ill box cutter fight
Where no one backs down
My shit burn, make em far from a clown
Ay yo, likewise
See a nigga that I can't trust
Is a nigga I despise
Then I, reply with a cold shoulder
You ain't a gat holder
You just a crossover switchover
Cuz I done dealt with the bullshit
Lived through the bullshit (uh huh, yeah)
So put a clamp on them loose lips
My niggas do kill shit (pow pow, pow pow pow)
Uh huh yeah uh huh yeah (uh huh) yeah, ha
(solo on that ass? dealt with the bullshit)
Check me out dunn (yeah)
Check me out now (out yo)
Yo feel me on the road, feel me at the shows
Feel me for what I stand for
And I'mma do it til the death
Fuck a ho, it's all about dough
