B.I.G. Time!

The King Of New York. The legendary Notorious B.I.G. was murdered over 16 years ago.

Christopher Wallace will always be remembered.

Brief Summary:

The tragic death of Notorious B.I.G. happened 16 years ago.

March 9, 1997 was the day that the Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls) was gunned down in Los Angeles after he attended a Soul Train Music Awards show. The death of Biggie happened just a few days before his double album Life After Death was to hit the store shelves.


Biggie was raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. When he released his debut album Ready to Die in 1994, he became a central figure in the East Coast hip hop scene and increased New York's visibility in the genre at a time when West Coast hip hop was dominant in the mainstream.

The following year, Wallace led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A. While recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the growing East Coast/West Coast hip hop feud.

When hip-hop was good!

Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., Big L, Pimp C, Big Pun, Guru, Soulja Slim, Magic, Left-Eye, Aaliyah,Whitney Houston, and Michael Jackson are gone but never forgotten.

They will be truly missed.
