Prodigy Says New Koch Album Is 'Just A Mixtape'
Monday - February 19, 2007

Prodigy is preparing the release of Return Of The Mac, a mixtape collaboration with The Alchemist, as a tool to promote the anticipated H.N.I.C. 2.

Although its being released through Koch Records, Prodigy maintains, the project is "just a mixtape," but is "gonna sell like an album."

The title is a nod to the once-popular gold mac chains, according to the rapper. "I ain't talking about mack," Prodigy explained to BallerStatus.com. "I'm talking about mac, duns. Some people gonna think we talking about pimping, but when they figure out what we talking about, they gonna be like, 'Oh, sh--.'"

"We were watching an old video," The Alchemist continues, "and P had the mac chain on. We were just remembering the feeling we were giving people. We wanted to spark that feeling again. But we don't never go backwards. The rhymes on this is the future."

His label boss, 50 Cent, may say Koch is the graveyard for over the hill rappers, but to Prodigy is another avenue to lace his pockets and confirms that it's still G-Unit.

"G-Unit is still going down," said Prodigy. "Mobb Deep is still on G-unit with 50. He let us do our own thing with our solo career, and let us get our money." And later adds, "If somebody say G-Unot, we gonna beat the sh-- out of them."

"Stuck On You" will be the first radio single, and underground videos have been shot for "Mac 10 Handles" and "New York Sh--."

The mixtape is slated for a March 27th release.
