Today, we celebrate the life of one of the greatest Hip-Hop Artists to every touch the mic… Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G.

Only a few people have ever had such an influence in music that they can not only withstand the test of time, but still continue to get the party started. Biggie proved that you don’t have to have the perfect story to become GREAT, you just need to be you.

After releasing the highly adored album Life After Death, it’s still hard to realize that it was only his second studio album. His smooth and unforgettable flow, combined with the life of a man just trying to provide for his family, is the ultimate proof that anyone can change their situation if you work your ass off to do so. After leaving us with hits like Big Poppa, Hypnotize, Going Back to Cali, Who Shot Ya?, Juicy, and Mo Money Mo Problems, I think he’ll always be one the best to ever make hip-hop music.

 

Sixteen years after his death, Biggie’s legacy will never be forgotten.
