Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy, who was recently released from prison after serving a 3 1/2-year bid for weapons possession, will be discussing his memoir 'My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy' at the University of Connecticut next week.

The controversial book covers the Queensbridge rapper's colorful past, from his early struggles in the music industry and history of beef with fellow MC's like N.O.R.E., to his lengthy battle with sickle-cell anemia, parents' tragic death and recent stint in prison. Holding nothing back, Prodigy even discusses the time his Mobb Deep partner Havoc shot an A&R rep at Def Jam, after Lyor Cohen refused to sign them because "we cursed to much and our music was too violent."
