Prodigy was known for his gritty street tales and boisterous style over rugged beats. He never backed down from a beef either from Jay-Z, Tupac, and Snoop. To his credit he helped forge the sound of New York hip hop.
Of the 8 albums they released, three would be the most influential, “The Infamous,” from 1995; “Hell on Earth,” from 1996; and “Murda Muzik,” from 1999. “The Infamous” would stand out to be classic.
