Title: The Notorious B.I.G. – Now Playing
Year/Genre: 2023, Hip-Hop / Compilation
Condition: NEW
Cultural Facts:
Biggie wrote most of Ready to Die while still selling drugs in Brooklyn, reportedly finishing lyrics in jail before being signed by Puff Daddy.
He was only 22 when Ready to Die dropped, and by 24 he was gone — murdered in Los Angeles after leaving a Vibe party in 1997, a case still unsolved.
His storytelling drew from street hustles on Fulton Street and clashes with rival crews, inspiring artists from Jay-Z to Kendrick Lamar to mix autobiography with bravado.
