Yesterday the news of Mobb Deep rapper, Prodigy's passing sent shockwaves through the music industry and on social media. Prodigy was 42 and had a lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia. Prodigy had been on tour before falling ill and took a few days off to recover. TV show host, Wendy Williams spoke on the late rapper today and revealed how he was supposed to perform at her Block Party next month. She also said that she ran into him two months prior on the street. R.I.P. Prodigy. One of Prodigy's former nemesis, Jay-Z has not only added the "hyphen" back to his name but has revealed that he will release his new album, "4:44" on June 30 via TIDAL and Sprint. The first song, "Adnis" is about his father and their estranged relationship. I haven't heard the song and as for the album I'm sure we can expect a collaboration with his wife, Beyoncé. Are you looking forward to Jay-Z's new album? In other music news..Keyshia Cole is joining ...

I remember hearing this song many times on the way to school when me and an old friend of mine used to hitch a ride with this girl I went to school with. I eventually got this album from Mobb Deep and I think it also won them a lot of fans. Lil' Kim's verse on here was quite memorable and was said to be a dis to Foxy Brown. For some reason though I always thought she was talking about Charli Baltimore though. When Foxy Brown caught wind of this song and its popularity; Foxy responded on Capone N Noreaga's 'Bang Bang' which went even harder and tore Kim a new asshole if you ask me. The war of words between the two ladies would continue for years to come.
