Prodigy’s Discography Available On DSPs

Prodigy’s discography is back on all digital music streaming services after being taken down in 2019. This was due to complications with his estate, but now they are partnered with Warner Music Group’s ADA for distribution & The NorthStar Group’s L. Londell McMillan. He has an amazing career that’s got some Hip-Hop gems many will never forget. However, because of this, there is an audience of Mobb Deep fans that aren’t fans of posthumous releases. In my opinion, it’s amazing to see that we’ll be getting Prodigy’s first posthumous album & much more for both older & newer listeners.

His Legacy Will Keep Continuing From Here

Having a new album released & his entire discography back on streaming apps is extremely important. It’s hard to truly appreciate an artist’s longevity when their catalog isn’t easily accessible (unless your Jay Z). As a source notes, “We have this new album dropping soon, the 3rd installment of his The Hegelian Dialectic album series coming 2023 & even more Mobb Deep music.”

It’s clearly a great year to be a Prodigy, Mobb Deep, or just a NY Hip-Hop fan. Do you think these new releases will have the similar success of his previous work?
