My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy

My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy - Albert "Prodigy" Johnson, Laura Checkoway I learned a lot about Prodigy in this book. Stuff I thought I knew as well as the things I did not. I thought I was going to be skipping through certain sections of this book only reading parts but I was hooked from the beginning. Mobb Deep was pretty much what got me hooked on rap muzik My best friend had a copy so I borrowed it and have to say a 5 star rating well deserved.

Alfonso Ribeiro (a.k.a. Carlton) appeared in Pepsi commercial with Michael Jackson. Later became star in fresh prince of bel-air. That part was originally offered to prodigy by his Grandma.

"Hillside Avenue" Jamaica queens was mentioned in this book. Where Prodigy's grandmother lived. I grew up on Hillside Avenue, Hillcrest Apts in Massachusetts. Thought that was kinda of cool.

A Great Auto-Bio from Prodigy. Recommend to Mobb Deep Fans!!
