"Prodigy Says Mobb Deep Are Free Agents & Currently Weighing Options"

It's been nearly five years since Mobb Deep dropped their last album, Blood Money, after their unprecedented signing to 50 Cent's G-Unit Records. While members, Prodigy and Havoc, have gone to to release solo projects, independently, their status at the label has been unknown. With Prodigy's release from prison in early March, following a three-year incarceration, the H.N.I.C. has been revealing new info about what's going on with the duo. Most recently, he revealed that Mobb Deep are free agents.
Via their new web series, dubbed "Start of Ur Ending," Prodigy explained that when 50 ended his imprint deal Interscope, the transition to EMI voided their contract.
"When 50 [Cent] took G-Unit [Records] off of Interscope [Records] and took it somewhere else, in that in between space, where there wasn't no deal, the clause in our contract set us free," said the rapper. "So, basically, we're free agents right now."
While P elaborated that the Mobb have been talking to 50 about re-signing with G-Unit, he says nothing is signed just yet. First, before anything happens, Mobb Deep wanna weigh their options.
"I've been talking to 50, we've been kicking it with son, and he definitely wants to continue doing business," said Prodigy. "We're just weighing our options, seeing what we really want to do, seeing how we want to move forward, see what's the best route for us to take. Because that's what it's all about, just making that best business move, wherever that may be.
"My focus is incredible right now because I got a lot of catching up to do, with money, the game, and just music and everything. I was missing for a little while so I got a little showing and proving to do to show that I deserve my spot, that Mobb Deep deserves their position in the game."
As episode 1 of the video series continued, Prodigy spoke, in-depth, about his time behind bars, who visited him, and who he's been reaching out since being freed.
