Rapper Prodigy of Queens, New York rap group Mobb Deep passed away today.
According to TMZ, Prodigy was last seen recently doing what he did best; perform with his comrade Havoc during the Art of Rap tour in Las Vegas.
TMZ Writes:
Prodigy, one half of Mobb Deep, has died in Las Vegas … TMZ has learned.
His publicist says he was hospitalized “a few days ago in Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis. As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth.”
The publicist added … “the exact cause of death has not been determined.”
Prodigy was in Vegas over the weekend performing with the Art of Rap tour … with Ghostface Killah, Onyx, KRS-One, Ice-T to name a few. Mobb Deep performed Saturday night.
So young. Rip.
Rest in Heaven.

Rest easy Legend.
A legend indeed and definitely way too young. I was reading T-boz tweets yesterday regarding the disease and it really is sad. RIP Dunn!
RIP King.
