Prodigy Preps Two New Albums With Koch

Mobb Deep fans will get a double helping of music from one half of the veteran duo as Prodigy gears up for the release of two solo albums.
The first release, titled Return of the Mac, will re-team the Queens lyricist with producer The Alchemist. The beatmaker, who recently worked with
Eminem on The Re-Up Mixtape, crafted beats for every song on the album.
Return of the Mac will serve as prelude to Prodigy's next project H.N.I.C.2, an effort in which the rapper vows to "turn it up hot."
Both
albums will be released on Koch Records, the rapper added.
"I decided to ride with Koch Records cause I got a lot of sh*t to do and say, and I know Koch won't hold me back or censor my sh*t plus the entire company will push the CDs to the maximum because they truly love and respect my
music," Prodigy said. "We're all very excited about the whole thing."
H.N.I.C.2 will be the follow up to Prodigy's gold debut release H.N.I.C., which spawned the hit single "Keep It Thoro."
The albums are the latest musical offerings from Prodigy, who has released a string up albums with his partner Havoc as part of Mobb Deep.
To date, group has sold more than 4 million records.
Plans are currently underway to film a video for "
Stuck On You," the first single from Return of the Mac.
Those who can't wait for the clip, can watch videos for two other tracks from the
album, "Mac 10 Handles," and "New York Sh*t."
Return of the Mac is scheduled to hit stores March 27, while H.N.I.C.2 is slated to drop later this year.
