Prodigyâs Ghost Drops Posthumous BeatsâHip-Hop or Haunted House?
Longtime hip-hop fans, brace yourselves: after Prodigy passed away in 2017, the legendary duo Mobb Deep finally unleashed their first project without him. Itâs like expecting a sequel to a buddy cop movie when one buddy's goneâexcept this isnât 'Rush Hour,' itâs mourning wrapped in grimy, East Coast bars. Rumors about delays and the typical posthumous album drama swirl as some wonder if this project is a tribute or just audio leftovers someone's resuscitated. Either way, it's the hip-hop equivalent of bringing a casserole to the ghost of Christmas Pastâboth comforting and mildly unsettling.

Oh, Iâm sorry, did I miss the part where Mobb Deepâs post-2017 project is an elaborate sĂ©ance? Because dropping an album after Prodigyâs death feels like remixing ghost stories into hip-hop classics.
So let me get this straight: a Mobb Deep project without Prodigy is now a posthumous mixtape where haunting verses meet âplease listen and remember meâ vibes? Thatâs less âhip-hop duo,â more âmusical sĂ©ance.â
Waiting for Mobb Deep's new album post-2017 is like binge-watching a show after the lead star diesâbittersweet, confusing, but you gotta see if they can still carry the plot without missing the ghostly co-lead.
