Albert Johnson (aged 42), better known by his stage name Prodigy, was an American rapper and half of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep with Havoc. In an interview with Vibe in November 2000, Prodigy spoke about what inspired him to directly address his battle with sickle-cell anemia in his song "You Can Never Feel My Pain", from his debut studio album H.N.I.C. He attributed his nihilism to the "permanent physical suffering" caused by his lifelong battle with the condition.
