New York-born rapper Prodigy, who made up half of the iconic hip-hop group Mobb Deep, has died. He was 42.

The artist, whose real name was Albert Johnson, was hospitalized several days ago in Las Vegas due to complications from his sickle cell disease.

"As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth," his rep said in a statement Tuesday. "The exact causes of death have yet to be determined."

Fellow rapper Nas, who collaborated with Mobb Deep, also shared the news on Instagram.

"QB RIP King P. Prodigy 4 Ever," Nas captioned a photo of the rapper.

Prodigy was born in Hempstead, Long Island and teamed up with the rapper Havoc, real name Kejuan Muchita, in Queens to form Mobb Deep toward the beginning of the 1990s.

They released their first album, "Juvenile Hill," in 1993 and continued to come out with new music through 2014, when their most recent album "The Infamous Mobb Deep" was released.
