Rap artist Prodigy, one half of the hip hop's legendary platinum selling duo, Mobb Deep, announced the domestic release of his second solo album, H.N.I.C. Part 2, to be released world-wide on Voxonic Music in partnership with AAO Music/Reality in March 2008. The announcement comes at a bittersweet time as the hip hop notable, rap artist Prodigy is preparing to start serving a 3 year prison lock down which begins early January 2008. "Throughout my life, I have always lived through adversity. I''m a survivor. You don''t understand the mental power that I have." While I''m locked up, I''m going to be writing lyrics, working on the script for my second feature film, Dope, and finish writing an autobiography of my life which will be finished by the time I''m released. My mind is going to be focused and I''ll have time to think and map out my entire plan. The experience will make me a tougher, stronger person. I''m gonna work on getting out faster, so I can get back to doing what I do best. When I get home, it's gonna be on!" The new album released by Voxonic Music will be rap artist Prodigy's second official hip hop solo album. H.N.I.C. Part 2 returns "P" to the more edgy real life street tales that have been the hip hop duo Mobb Deep's signature for nearly a decade. Alchemist and Havoc will produce a bulk of the album along with several other hot up-n-coming producers. For the first time ever, hip hop fans around the world will get to soak in the provocative thoughts of Prodigy, one of hip hop's most prolific lyricists. Through the Voxonic technology, fans in other countries will be able to hear Prodigy's H.N.I.C. Part 2 in his own voice converted with 99% accuracy into different languages including Spanish, French, and German. Voxonic Music, the recording home of international reggae star, Ky-Mani Marley, has trademarked an exciting new technology. "I''ll be the first hip hop artist to release a record that's converted into foreign languages using the Voxonic voice conversion technology. The technology they use is a great opportunity for me to keep supplying my fans around the world with music to hold them down while I''m away," states Prodigy.
