The Samples Used on Classic Prodigy Tracks
Power 106’s Vin Rican has celebrated the life of Mobb Deep‘s Prodigy with a new episode of Wax Only. The video looks at the samples behind Mobb Deep classics, along with solo tracks and songs that he was featured on.
Born Albert Johnson in Long Island, New York, Prodigy rose to fame in the ’90s as one-half of Mobb Deep. He also had a prolific career outside of the group, releasing 13 solo projects and five collaborative projects between 2000 and 2017.
