Prodigy Facts

He had beef with high-profile artists like Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Keith Murray, Redman, and many others.

Prodigy allowed his young son to get the letter ‘P’ tattooed on his arm as a gift on his 7th birthday.

He released his autobiography titled My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy in 2011.

Three Mobb Deep records – The Infamous (1995), Hell on Earth (1996), and Murda Muzik (1999) became the defining albums of the boom-bap era and cemented their status in the highly-contentious East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry of the 1990s.

In 2007, Prodigy served a 3-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the charge of illegal gun possession. He was finally released in March 2011.
