Prodigy, one half of the iconic rap duo Mobb Deep, has passed away at age 42.
The rapper's publicist released a statement on his death, citing complications stemming from his lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia. Several prominent members of the Queens hip-hop community took to social media to share the news—and their condolences—on Tuesday afternoon, with Nas and his younger brother Jungle sharing posts on Instagram within minutes of one another.
