Contents

[edit] Background

The album was released under Voxonic Music. It is a sequel to H.N.I.C., released in 2000. The album was released on April 22, 2008 along with a DVD entitled Free P, which will contain a music video for every single track on the album. This will be Prodigy's last album in a few years, as he heads to prison for a 3 year gun charge. This also means that if any Mobb Deep albums are going to be made they have to be postponed.[2] The album was leaked on the 16 April 2008.[3]

[edit] Music

[edit] Production

The album features production by Havoc, The Alchemist, Apex and Sid Roams.[4]

[edit] Guests

The album features guest appearances from artists that frequently work with Prodigy, including Havoc, Un Pacino, Nyce, Twin Gambino and Cormega.[5]

[edit] Bonus tracks

The track "Dirty New Yorker," which is in Grand Theft Auto IV, is listed as a bonus track. The Voxonic Spanish mix of "ABC" is also listed as a bonus track.

[edit] Leftovers

The only leftover that is known is the song titled "Represent Me," which is sampled from the Montclairs' song "Baby (You Know I'm Gonna Miss You)". The reason for the track not making it on the album is more than likely, a sample clearance problem. The song's video can be found on Youtube.com, along with a few other H.N.I.C. videos. There is few another songs that was leaked onto the internet called "My World is Empty Without You", "The Dough", "Sleep When I'm Dead", "Get Trapped" featuring Nyce and Un Pacino. The records leaked close to the H.N.I.C. 2 release date but they were never officially confirmed to have been recorded for the album.

[edit] Sales and chart performance

The album debuted at number 36 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 13,000 copies in its first week.[6]
