Prodigy
09-Nov-1974
United States
Musician
In addition to Mobb's Deep Havoc partner, Prodigy (Albert Johnson) has established an undeniable reputation as one of the most talented and beloved hardcore rap artists. The words of the hunter of vengeance and wisdom are uttered with sharp, insignificant force earning the respect of those who encouraged them while greatly affecting most of his followers. Born on Long Island but growing up in Queens, New York City, Prodigy had music that played all his blood. Her mother later became a member of the Christian Church and her father was in the doo op group and played the drums; grandfather Budd Johnson and his grandfather Keg Johnson were famous jazz musicians. At a young age, Prodigy made his way through the saxophone and eventually fell into hip-hop. He first appeared as a teenager in 1991 with unrestricted opening bars in "Too Young," the R&B music group that played Hi-Five in the Boyz N the Hood soundtrack.
