Review

On H.N.I.C., his first solo venture outside of Mobb Deep, Prodigy collaborates with a long list of featured guest rappers, many of them from his Queensbridge stomping ground, and he also works with a variety of producers, most notable among them the Alchemist and Rockwilder. Prodigy's Mobb Deep partner, Havoc, makes only two appearances over the course of the 22-track album. Despite the number of outside contributors, H.N.I.C. isn't much of a departure for Prodigy, who remains true to his style lyrically and raps over an assortment of productions that are reminiscent of Mobb Deep. All of this should please Mobb Deep fans, as this album is simply a twist on the legendary Queensbridge duo's usual approach. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
