Video - Biggie Smalls: The Legend of '90s New York Hip-Hop

In the vibrant streets of New York during the '90s, a Maryland-born rapper named Notorious B.I.G., or Biggie Smalls, was making waves. Christopher Wallace, known for his deep voice and effortless flow, released his debut album "Ready to Die" in 1994. This album quickly became a hip-hop cornerstone, narrating vivid tales of his life experiences. Biggie's complex lyrics, paired with his unmatched storytelling ability, captured the essence of street life, drawing listeners into his world. Despite a meteoric rise, Biggie's career was marred by the infamous East Coast-West Coast feud, primarily with Tupac Shakur. Yet, through the tension, Biggie's influence only grew. Tracks like "Juicy" and "Big Poppa" propelled him to unprecedented heights, solidifying his legacy as a titan in the rap game. Tragically, his life was cut short in 1997, but his impact on '90s rap and the culture at large remains indelible. His music continues to inspire, proving that legends never die.
