The Notorious B.I.G.

Über The Notorious B.I.G.

The Notorious B.I.G. brought Brooklyn storytelling and effortless flow to the centre of 1990s hip-hop. Ready to Die in 1994 revived East Coast rap, and Juicy became the genre's definitive rags-to-riches anthem. He was killed in Los Angeles in 1997, six months after 2Pac, and Life After Death made him a legend.
