Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on November 02, 1974)

Happy Birthday to the one and only Albert Johnson—better known as Prodigy, lyrical menace and fearless half of Mobb Deep. You've taken hardcore gangsta rap beyond gritty beats; you've turned it into poetry (dark, angry poetry—but still poetic!). Thanks for giving us timeless hits like "Shook Ones Pt. II," a track that didn't just set bars high—it put other rappers on alert.

Your iconic verses have resonated in basements across generations—even grandma secretly nods along when nobody's looking! Here's raising our glass to you: may your rhymes stay fierce, your flow remain legendary, and let hip-hop celebrate its undisputed prodigal son once again!
