Nas was the first one to report Prodigy’s death last month. Esco paid tribute to his fellow QueensBridge rapper at the Woo Hah! Festival in the Netherlands, by doing a rendition of Mobb Deep’s infamous “Shook Ones, Pt. II.”
While performing the tribute song, Nas asked the audience to wave their hands for P and chant “R.I.P. Prodigy!” To wrap up the performance Nas showed P love by yelling, “We love you, Prodigy.”
Throughout their careers Nas and Prodigy had some highs and lows. The two once feuded on wax and eventually talked it over and reconciled. Both Esco and P collaborated on a medley of tracks like “It’s Mine,” “Self Conscience,” “Eye for a Eye (Your Beef Is Mines),” “Queens Day,” and others.
Prodigy lost a long battle to sickle cell anemia on June 20th, 2017 in Las Vegas. He has been fighting the disease for about 20-years. Many rappers paid their respects to P at his funeral in New York last month. R.I.P. P.
