Mobb Deep was hospitalized days ago for complications related to sickle cell anemia.
Other members of the hip-hop community have also posted tributes to Prodigy online, including Nas, Lil Wayne, Ghostface Killah, Q-Tip, Method Man, Wiz Khalifa, Big Boi and Questlove.
The artist suffered from health issues throughout his life, however it wasn't immediately clear what the cause of death was. He had long suffered from sickle cell anaemia, a condition in which red blood cells contort into a sickle shape and die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells. The condition can lead to a painful blockage of blood flow.
They collaborated frequently with other artists, including with Nas, who helped propel their visibility early in their career. Prodigy was generally regarded has the lyrical lead in the duo, while Havoc was better known as pulling weight producing the beats.
50 cent was also one to pay homage to such a respectable figure in the rap community.
If you you're not familiar with his music i recommend that you do check him out, I've linked one of his most promising tracks.
I hope to open some eyes in regards to some people that might be unfamiliar with his music, hes quite underrated.
Thanks to all for reading and have yourselves a wonderful morning/day/afternoon.
Best regards
