The Hegelian Dialectic 2: The Book of Heroine is the seventh studio album by American rapper Prodigy. It was posthumously released by Infamous Records on September 30, 2022. It features guest appearances by Berto Rich, Big Daddy Kane, Big Noyd, Chinky, DJ Premier, DJ Scratch, Faith Evans, and Remy Ma. Production was handled by a variety of producers, including DJ Premier, DJ Scratch, and Knxwledge. It was preceded by two singles, "You Will See" and "Walk Out".
The album follows five years after Hegelian Dialectic (The Book of Revelation), the last album to be released during Prodigy's lifetime, and serves as the second installment of his Hegelian Dialectic trilogy. It is one of the projects Prodigy had been working on prior to his death, and was originally planned to be released a few months after The Book of Revelation. The album's release was announced on May 20, 2022; the same day Prodigy's discography returned to streaming services after having been unavailable for three years.[3]
The third installment, The Book of the Dead, is planned to be released as the final installment in the trilogy.[4]
Ricardo Hazell of HipHopDX gave the album a positive review, writing, "Some Prodigy fans may not vibe with this album, because it's far different than his previous work. But even so, it's a revealing glimpse into the man behind the persona."[6] Grant Jones of RapReviews wrote, "Few rappers can veer from ultra-violence to hard-hitting one-liners and outright emotional sincerity with such effortless charisma – Prodigy shows he remains a master of the craft and this album only makes me miss his voice even more."[5]
