2 is notable as a hip hop release from the label Voxonic, which you two have never heard of until now, most likely. Which you would think helped with lending the album a consistent sound overall, but nah. Aside from The Alchemist and Havoc (who only checks in behind the boards for a single track), Cellblock P employed production team Sid Roams to handle a good majority of the tracks. 2 wasn't given as much of a budget, so Prodigy stuck with a handful of producers to help him get his message across. was released by Loud Records, an underground haven with pockets lined with disposable income thanks to the success of acts such as Big Punisher, the Wu-Tang Clan, Xzibit, and, well looky here, Mobb Deep.įor obvious reasons, and not just because Loud Records hasn't existed in many moons, H.N.I.C. H.N.I.C., an acronym that stands for Head N-a In Charge, wasn't exactly as cohesive a project as many recall: the production is all over the place, Cellblock P having employed a different producer for nearly every goddamn track (save for the multiple beats from The Alchemist, his Mobb Deep partner Havoc, and Prodigy himself). It's difficult to fault the man for the gap in between projects, though: Prodigy was clearly busy with Mobb Deep albums, Alchemist collaborations, and gun charges, and that takes up a lot of time. 2, making this a direct continuation of his well-received solo debut, which was released eight years prior to this effort. Because sequels were in vogue even back then, he called it H.N.I.C.

Shit happens, especially when an artist attempts to become prolific just before a prison sentence.Įarlier in 2008, Albert "Prodigy" Johnson released what most hip hop heads consider to be his second proper solo album (because 2007's Return Of The Mac was more of a collaborative effort with The Alchemist).
There was no master plan: I merely got a couple of albums mixed up, and then it became too late to do anything about it. I'm sure a couple of you were wondering why I chose to skip ahead in Prodigy's catalog to write about Product Of The '80s, because I like pretending that someone out there gives a shit about moves such as that.
