Mobb Deep rapper, Prodigy, has passed away at 42 years old. The rapper struggled with sickle cell anemia for his entire life and has reportedly passed due to complications from the disease, although his exact cause of death has not been determined.

His publicist confirmed Prodigy’s death in a statement to XXL:

"It is with extreme sadness and disbelief that we confirm the death of our dear friend Albert Johnson, better known to millions of fans as Prodigy of legendary NY rap duo Mobb Deep. Prodigy 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 exact causes of death have yet to be determined. We would like to thank everyone for respecting the family’s privacy at this time.”

Condolences to the family and everyone related to the culture it is a great lose for all of us, PROPS to one of the greatest hip-hop duos
