Prodigy Movements was formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1992 childhood friends Scorpio, Face and Cutts. Prodigy rapidly built a following based upon their superior style of juggling and their incredible ability to whip any crowd into a frenzy in their sessions. As a result, Prodigy became a local favorite sound play at area block parties, basement parties and the small area clubs. The first big break came when they clashed Ruff Kutt, who at the time was the bigger, up and coming clash sound in Brooklyn. With very few dub plates in their arsenal, Prodigy defeated Ruff Kutt with relative ease. Consequently, Prodigys name circulated around the tri-state area as a formidable sound that should not be taken lightly. With no formal individual owner or big money to continue on the clash path Prodigy chose return to their roots as a juggling. However, they slowly began building their dub plate arsenal just in case someone got bright ideas. In 1995, Killa and Bigga were approached by Prodigy in New York to start a second branch of Prodigy in South Florida. With their long time friend and fellow Miami selector DJ Dappa, they started a second branch of Prodigy Movements in Miami. In 1999 English Fire joined Prodigy and in 2000 Prodigy was joined by Shadow Star who the team dubbed the 5th Element (being the 5th member) and now the Dream Team was complete. Prodigy has played all over south florida and the united states and are influential in bringing Uptown people to Downtown parties and bringing the Downtown vibe to the Uptown parties creating a niche in Florida called MidTown.
