The Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls and born Christopher Wallace, is a legendary figure in the world of hip-hop. Emerging from the streets of Brooklyn, New York, Biggie's distinctive flow and storytelling prowess quickly set him apart in the early 1990s. His debut album, Ready to Die (1994), was a commercial and critical success, featuring iconic tracks like "Juicy" and "Big Poppa." Biggie's gritty lyrics, combined with his smooth delivery, painted vivid pictures of urban life and struggle.

Despite his short career, cut tragically short in 1997, The Notorious B.I.G.'s impact on the music industry is undeniable. His follow-up album, Life After Death, released posthumously, further cemented his legacy with hits like "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems." Today, The Notorious B.I.G. is remembered as one of the greatest rappers of all time, influencing countless artists and continuing to captivate new generations of hip-hop fans.
