On December 5th and 6th, 2000 beginning at 12N, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, will film the next video "Y.B.E." from his newly released album, H.N.I.C. The "Y.B.E." video to be filmed in NYC is set around a performance where Prodigy is the epicenter of the universe joined by B.G. of Cash Money Millionaires and artists from Mobb Deep's Infamous Records label. The director of the video is Little X, whose recent work includes: Mystikal ("Shake Ya Ass"), MOP ("Ante Up"), Ghostface ("Cherchez LaGhost") and Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek ("The Blast").

As the track kicks in, images of wealth come at us - diamonds, furs, cars, beautiful girls - the ultimate enticement to get rich. Captured entirely in a modern and sleek studio, everything you see is washed in a gorgeous money green light. As Prodigy performs, the director cuts away to real-life YBE's straight out of the projects doing their thing. Like a stylized documentary they show us what doing business is all about. And the light there isn't green ¦just the money. B.G. rocks his verse surrounded by Cash Money Millionnaires. The final scene is Prodigy and B.G. performing together. Between Prodigy, B.G., and guys making it happen, young black entrepreneurs keep it thorough.

The first video, "Keep It Thoro", directed by Diane Martel was filmed in Queensbridge and is currently on rotation on MTV's DFX, BET, and The Box. Prodigy solo debut, H.N.I.C. was released on November 14, 2000 and in the first week sold over 105,000 units debuting at number 18 on the Billboard Magazine's Top 200 chart.
