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.
