This Prodigy tribute is brought to you by UpNorthTrips. Listen to the mix above created by myself and Vinylcologist from 2011—featuring 10 classic Prodigy and Alchemist collaborations which are among my favorite rap songs ever—while you peep the Pee pics below compiled over the years by my bro Ev Boogie…

01 Feb 1995, New York State, USA — Prodigy and Havoc (Mobb Deep) with NAS and Wu-Tang clan member, Raekwon. They were in the studio recording, ‘Eye for an Eye (Your Beef is Mines)’.

RIP Prodigy. Hands down one of my favorite rappers of all-time, an artist I’ve spent a huge percentage of my life listening to. Pee and Mobb have always been my go-to in the whip, and will continue to be.

“Gangsters don’t die, they just turn to legends…”
