I think it's a little too soon to release this interview. The exact cause of death hasn't been released to the public. His own publicist said "Prodigy battled with Sickle Cell his entire life", but TMZ decided to run with the "choking" story. I believe this is in bad taste. It's strange that Vlad said Prodigy had this somewhat aura of sadness from dealing with Sickle Cell. There's an interview tonight with Viceland where Prodigy is talking to The Therapist and states that Sickle Cell gave him somewhat of a mental disorder. Rest in Peace Prodigy. I'm sorry bro 🙏🏾

This is off topic but Wich Way Iz West is tha bomb dude! I didn't skip a single song on that one and I was not even a big MC Eiht fan before. Premier's beats are great and Eiht's bars are just great. but since this is about Prodigy, RIP to him. A big loss to the hip hop community. Mobb deep was one of the first East coast groups I listened to. They were some of my earliest things in my hiphop education.
