Biggie music 





 
The Notorious BIG Born Christopher George Latore Wallace, Notorious B.I.G. was an exceptional student, albeit a little criminal. By the time he was twelve, he was already involved in drug trafficking; he quit school when he was seventeen so he could pursue more lawless interests. By the time he was nineteen, he had been in and out of jail twice. It was after his second incarceration that he made a demo tape of his rapping (under the name Biggie Smalls). While not being serious about a record deal, Notorious B.I.G. was nevertheless discovered and was signed by Uptown Records' Sean “Puffy” Combs. When Combs was let go soon after B.I.G. signed his contract, the rapper left Uptown to sign under Combs' newly-formed Bad Boy records. It was under his label that Notorious B.I.G. was made to quit his life of crime. In 1992 he stepped into the spotlight by appearing in Mary J. Blige's “Real Love” as The Notorious B.I.G. He kept being featured in other people's records before releasing a solo track “Party and Bullshit” in 1993 as part of the soundtrack of the film”Who's The Man?” The next year, his solo debut “Ready to Die” was released to a receptive audience and spawned the hits “Juicy/Unbelievable”, “Big Poppa” and “One More Chance”. The Notorious B.I.G. was hailed as a champion of east coast rap, and his work was given glowing reviews. His second album had problems being released. Notorious B.I.G. was often involved in allegations of illegal activity, feuds, assaults and accidents. Finally, in 1997, two weeks before the release of his sophomore album “Life After Death”, he became the victim of a drive-by shooting. He died within two hours of being shot. The double-disc album, however, sold incredibly well rocketing The Notorious B.I.G. to superstardom. The video of its hit lead single “Hypnotize” was the last music video recording Notorious made. Other hits from the album include “Mo' Money Mo' Problems” and “Sky's the Limit”. The album received Grammy nominations for both itself and its first two singles.
