Prodigy Drops ''H.N.I.C. 2'' DVD

Incarcerated Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy is set to drop the DVD companion to his latest album H.N.I.C. Pt. 2 next month.

H.N.I.C. Pt. 2: The DVD Collection features never-before-seen videos and exclusives for new songs like "The Dough," "Get Trapped," "Represent Me," and "When I See You" featuring Cormega, according to a press release. In addition to videos for songs that weren't on the original album version, the DVD also includes a vid for "Dirty New Yorker," featuring Havoc, from the Grand Theft Auto IV video game soundtrack.

P spent the last two months of his freedom, before going to jail, cutting videos everyday for every song on the album.

Dan the Man filmed and produced the videos for H.N.I.C. Pt. 2's "The Life," "Power Is People," "ABC," and "Sleep When I'm Dead."

"Prodigy has always been ahead of other hip-hop artists when it comes to using technology and he wanted a visual way to connect with his fans directly," Dan said.

He utilized a few different techniques to make each video unique.

"For 'The Life,' we used a really different technology. We shot most of the video on green screen and then superimposed his image on a series of photographs taken around the city. If you look at the video for 'The Life,' you'll see Prodigy over what looks like frozen moments in time," Dan said. "In the 'ABC' video, we utilized cutting edge night vision technology which enables you shoot in complete darkness."

The video for 'Power Is People' was filmed in a Queens Correctional Facility, just days before P would be confined to a cell in real life.

"At times it was surreal looking through the lens and seeing P walking alone through the halls of the facility knowing that he would soon find himself in one," Dan said.

As previously reported, Prodigy (born Albert Johnson) was sentenced to three-and-a-half years behind bars for weapons charges after being arrested back in October of '06.

P's second official solo album H.N.I.C. Part II debuted on the Billboard charts at No. 36, selling 13,300 copies.

H.N.I.C. Pt. 2:The DVD Collection hits stores on June 17.
