Honoring Notorious B.I.G. (05/21/72-03/09/97)

The rap mogul who was taking the world and music industry by storm, had his life suddenly taken from him at age 24.

Today, Micah Jesse honors the life of Christopher George Latore Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls, aka Notorious B.I.G.

On March 9, 1997, Wallace was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.

To remember B.I.G., we take you back with a vintage video of his song “Juicy.”

And one of our favorite songs of all time, “I’ll Be Missing You,” by P.Diddy and Faith Evans:
