The late Prodigy discusses the pain of sickle cell anemia in a trailer for tonight’s broadcast

Over the last few months, a new program from VICELAND has brought the minds and emotions of some music’s greatest talents to the couch of Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh. In its premiere, Singh and Freddie Gibbs discussed the case that changed the rapper’s life forever, and in the episodes since, we’ve seen heart-to-hearts with Young M.A., D.R.A.M., Katy Perry and others.

Tonight, the program will air an episode with the late Prodigy, detailing his lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia and the persistent tests of faith and character it presented him throughout his career. The disease finally claimed his life on June 20th, just a few weeks after gracing the stage at Roots Picnic 2017 in Philadelphia.
