In these memoirs that are both brutal and deeply moving, Prodigy, an iconic figure of Mobb Deep, recounts a life of struggle, survival, and redemption on the streets of New York. For the first time, he speaks candidly about his family, drugs, violence, illness, and the search for hope that kept him going.
My Infamous Life is the unfiltered account of Prodigy’s wild years within Mobb Deep. Alongside Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Jay-Z, and the Wu-Tang Clan, he redefined 1990s hip-hop with street-inspired lyrics. Told in the first person, the book plunges readers into the heart of rap’s greatest rivalries—from the East Coast–West Coast war to clashes with Jay-Z, Nas, Ja Rule, Capone-N-Noreaga, and Snoop Dogg—while revealing the behind-the-scenes reality of an era dominated by Puff Daddy, Russell Simmons, Irv Gotti, and Lyor Cohen.
