Prodigy’s First Posthumous Album Is Coming Soon

The late New York rap legend Prodigy was many people’s favorite member of Mobb Deep. After tragically passing away almost five years ago, Prodigy’s first posthumous album titled The Hegelian Dialectic: The Book of Heroine is reportedly coming soon. Additionally, his estate shared on Instagram that the project’s official single, “You Will See,” is dropping on June 10th. The Hegelian Dialectic: The Book of Heroine is the 2nd installment of an album trilogy before his death. In 2017, he released the 1st album of Hegelian Dialectic: The Book of Revelation months before dying. Take a look at the announcement on the late NY rapper’s Instagram page:

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?

Yung Baby Tate’s Major Announcements: New Name, New Label, New Song

Yung Baby Tate has taken to Instagram to make a major announcement. The Georgia native announced that she’s signed a deal with Warner Records and will be dropping her new single “Pedi” on the 29th of October.

Yung Baby Tate, born Tate Sequoya Farris, was born on the 13th of May in 1996 to Dionne Farris and David Ryan Harris. Her parents have musical backgrounds, with the mother being a soul singer and the father a producer. This later rubbed off on Tate, who began playing the piano at an early age. By 13, Tate was producing her own beats.

Baby Tate Formerly Yung Baby Tate

The “I Am” rapper shared that she’d changed her name from Yung Baby Tate to “Baby Tate.” Tate isn’t the only artist who’s reinvented themselves. Fellow Georgia native, Latto also announced a name change early this year after facing backlash due to the problematic origin of the previous name. The rapper went by the name Mulatto, an offensive term and slur that describes mixed-race children of Black and European origin.

Tate has collaborated with other artists including Bree Runway on “Damn Daniel” and Flo Milli on “I Am.”  She released her sixth EP, “After The Rain,” while at Raedio. She later released its deluxe version in May of 2021.
