Birth name: Christopher George Latore Wallace. Also known as: Biggie Smalls, Biggie, Frank White, Big Poppa. Born: May 21, 1972 Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States. Died: March 9, 1997 Los Angeles, California, United States. The Notorious B.I.G. biography (bio): Christopher George Latore Wallace is popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a gangster in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again), Big Poppa, Frank White (from the film King of New York), and his primary stage name, The Notorious B.I.G., was an American artist well-known for his smooth rapping and hip hop music. Born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, Biggie grew up during the peak years of the 1980s crack epidemic and started dealing drugs from an early age. When Biggie debuted with the 1994 record Ready to Die, he was a central figure in the East Coast and increased New York's viability at a time when hip hop was mostly dominated by West Coast artists. The following year, Biggie led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A. While recording his second album, Biggie was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feud dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, he was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California. His double-disc set Life After Death, released fifteen days later, hit #1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified Diamond in 2000. Biggie was noted for his "loose, easy flow", dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released and he has been described by the media as one of the greatest rappers |
