Rapper Prodigy Dead

Prodigy’s publicist confirmed he was hospitalized a few days ago in Las Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance due to complications from sickle cell anemia. The publicist said they have not yet determined the exact cause of death.

Prodigy, real name Albert Johnson, and his rap partner, Havoc, formed Mobb Deep in NYC in the early ’90s. Their biggest hits include “Quiet Storm” and “Shook Ones.”
