This past June 20, the world lost one of its most talented and influential voices of all time when Albert Johnson, better known as Prodigy, lost his life-long fight with sickle-cell anemia. And as we all learn how to cope with such a huge loss, artists like DJ Concept are dealing with P’s passing the only way they know how: by providing art that pays tribute to the rapper’s incredible legacy. For the Long Island, NY deejay/producer, this meant taking to his turntables and record collection to put together this brand-new mix, the fittingly titled “RIP Prodigy”. It’s a non-stop, 23-minute live mix that Concept recorded shortly after learning of the Queensbridge artist’s passing. It pays homage to the legendary emcee by showcasing many of the original samples that he rapped over, either as a solo artist or as one half of Mobb Deep. “It’s my homage to Prodigy and his soundscape, which was very influential to my sound as a producer,” Concept explains. “Banging joints like ‘The Realest,’ ‘Keep It Thoro,’ ‘HNIC’… I remember thinking, ‘This is the sound I wish I could make.’” “RIP Prodigy” kicks off with a chills-inducing a cappella recording of Prodigy rapping his opening bars of “Shook Ones Part II”. Then, you’re treated to more audio from P that pops up in between a slew of soul and funk originals that’ll leave you revisiting his and Mobb Deep’s catalogue all over again. #InfamousForever

“Prodigy and Mobb Deep’s music is all I’ve been listening since Nas announced P’s death on instagram. I still can’t believe it. The H.N.I.C., one of my favourite MCs and member of my favourite rapper duo passed away way too early. I’ve always wanted to create a song using ‘Just Step Prelude’ acapella verse from ‘The Infamous’ album so I did it as a tribute to one of the goats on the mic. Been watching a lot of P footage on Youtube aswell so I throwed in some parts of the legendary “Dissing Rappers” car interview. Real fans know.” – Cookin Soul

Veteran producer, DJ Premier joined us on Sway in the Morning to remember Prodigy from the iconic hip-hop duo Mobb Deep. The New York rapper died Tuesday at age 42 after being hospitalized for complications from sickle cell anemia. The cause of his death, however, has yet to be released. Prodigy and his partner Havoc released eight albums together as Mobb Deep. Their sophomore project “The Infamous” put them on the map and is considered one of the most important rap albums of all time. DJ Premier tells us about recently performing with the rapper. He takes it back and explains the making of tracks like “Cop Hell” and the remix to “Peer Pressure”.
