Introducing The Realness: The Untold story of Albert “Prodigy” Johnson | The Realness | WNYC Studios

Rap star Prodigy is best known for The Infamous, an album he released when he was just a teenager as half of the venerable Queens duo, Mobb Deep. But as Mobb Deep took over the world, something was happening to Prodigy behind the scenes, a piece of his life set apart from his legendary lyricism and New York realness. A pain so excruciating it could make Prodigy feel like his bones were on fire; a pain that landed him in the Vegas hospital where he died last year.

The Realness takes you behind Prodigy’s music to his life with sickle cell anemia, revealing how his condition touched almost every part of his life: from the sound of his rhymes to the circumstances of his death.

So many podcasts I can't keep up.

shyts getting outta hand

Motherfukkers are commanding 1-2 hours of my life once/twice per week. FOH.

But, I'll give anything Mobb Deep a listen.


P.'s interview with Questlove was nothing short of phenomenal.

dope, gonna check it out! all episodes are dope so far. I knew most of the things, but also learned some new.

I'm pretty sure that P would have been a different person / rapper if it wouldn't have been for that damn disease that tortured him his whole life.
