I'm late on this, but it wouldn't be right if I didn't mention Mobb Deep's Prodigy coming home yesterday after serving a three-year bid for gun possession. This wasn't the H.N.I.C.'s first prison stint but let's hope it's his last. Prodigy is a legend in the game, and based on the lack of New York rappers making noise, his gritty voice is needed more than ever. Welcome home, P. Here's a throwback: "Keep It Thoro" from 2000's H.N.I.C.

Bonus clip: Prodigy speaks after his release.
