Mac Miller surprised his fans with a new track today by releasing “Confessions Of A Cash Register”. The track features Prodigy of Mobb Deep and is produced by Alchemist and Larry Fisherman. On the smooth track you hear Prodigy start off in his classic “Mobb style” before Mac Miller interjects and provides a silky but speedy flow to bring it home. Check out the track after the jump…

Excuse my lateness. But better late than never, right? I have no idea how this slipped under my nose but it did. Here is the latest track from Troy Ave which will serve as his first single off of his upcoming project. He recruits Prodigy for a verse and John Scino for the production. Be on the look out for a lot more Troy Ave in the next month. Bricks in my Backpack 2: Powder to the People drops in July

I mentioned the other day that Mobb Deep’s Prodigy would be releasing a book entitled My Infamous Life in which he opens up in depth about just that – his roller coaster of a life and career. Stories about Nas, Jay-Z, Lil Kim and more were littered throughout the pages as well as his own stories of struggle and survival on the streets of Queensbridge and New York City. Yesterday, The Source held a private event in celebration of the novel. Below are a handful of pictures from the event. After the jump, check out an interview P granted Toure at Powerhouse Books in Brooklyn where he sheds light about said book amongst other topics.

Prodigy’s first full project out the bing is here and we have Complex to thank for it (and P’s rhymes, of course). I’ve yet to sit down with it, but I’m reading reviews (i.e. tweets) about The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson EP and it appears to be mixed. At least Noz is saying the production is on point. Even if this is sub-par though, we’ll just consider this him getting his rap legs under him again.

1. The One & Only (Produced By Sid Roams)
2. Go Off (Produced By Sid Roams)
3. Black Devil (Produced By Sid Roams)
4. Twilight (Feat. Havoc) (Produced By Sid Roams)
5. For One Night Only (Produced By Alchemist)
6. Strong (Produced By King Benny)
7. Told Ya’ll (Produced By Sid Roams) (Bonus)

The other day I found myself running through some vintage Mobb Deep. I forget which album, but I want to say The Infamous. While I have never been the biggest Prodigy and Havoc fan, I’ve always respected the group’s place in Hip Hop history mainly because of my older cousins and later my old college roommate. Ask anyone who was entrenched in the music and they’ll tell you the same thing, there was a moment in time when people held the belief Prodigy was the best rapper in New York (some may say the entire game).

His raw and vivid lyrical imagery set him apart from most and thanks in part to Havoc’s knack for production was tailor made for the group’s sound. Fast forward a few years, a few setbacks and one incarceration stint for P, there seems to be a renewed interest in the group and their future projects. Complex’s Toshitaka Kondo caught up with the man of the hour for to talk all things Hip Hop, life, Mr. Cee, prison and everything in between.

Speaking of Mobb Deep, you talk in the book about how at first Havoc wasn’t visiting you in jail. Were you guys on bad terms when you first went in?
Nah, it wasn’t nothing like that. Sometimes when niggas get locked up, the people on the outside, they don’t understand really the importance of it. When you in prison and you’re locked in the cell, you’re looking at the outside world different. You’re seeing everything different. Time stops. And you’re just sitting there, and moving real slow. Everybody else in the world is just out there moving frantic.
