(AllHipHop News) Multi-platinum rap star Prodigy of Mobb Deep is nearing the
completion of a three-year prison sentence for gun possession and will be released
in early 2011.
The first project to drop from the rapper post-prison will be his upcoming
autobiography titled My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep "s Prodigy.
The book centers around Prodigy "s upbringing, his career as a superstar rapper
along with Mobb Deep member Havoc, his various altercations throughout his colorful
career and his time behind bars.
The rapper is currently finishing a three-year prison sentence for being caught
with a loaded .22 handgun in October of 2006 as he was driving in Manhattan
with producer The Alchemist in a bulletproof SUV.
He was one of the first artists sentenced under New York "s tough anti-gun laws,
which have resulted in prison sentences for celebrities like Plaxico Burress,
Lil Wayne and Ja Rule.
Sources told AllHipHop.com that Prodigy is scheduled to be released from prison
in February of 2011.
My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep "s Prodigy, which was written
by Prodigy along with Laura Checkoway, is being released by book publishing
giant, Simon and Schuster.
The title is slated to land in bookstores nationwide on April 19, 2011.
