On the night of March 9th 1997, Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in Los Angeles. To date his murder remains a mystery. His life was not. NOTORIOUS, the film and soundtrack is his story. Through determination and raw talent, Wallace transformed himself from a Brooklyn hustler to become one of the greatest rappers of all time; The Notorious B.I.G. As it was ingrained in his head ‘Mo’ Money begets ‘Mo’ Problems.’ At the height of his short career, Wallace found himself (along with his mentor and Executive Producer) Sean “Diddy” Combs, in the middle of an ‘east coast-west coast’ hip hop feud. This feud ultimately triggered a series of events over a six month period that brought down two of the legends of the game: First (Death Row recording artist) Tupac Shakur was shot on the Las Vegas strip (September 13, 1996), and then The Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in Los Angeles six months later (March 9, 1997).
The NOTORIOUS soundtrack (Executive Produced by Diddy) mixes some of the B.I.G.G.E.S.T tracks of Wallace’s career including “One More Chance,” “Hypnotize”and “Warning” along with heart felt contributions from some of his friends in the game including Jay-Z with “Brooklyn (Go Hard)”, Jadakiss featuring (Biggie’s wife) Faith Evan’s with “Letter to B.I.G.,” and a tribute from his son CJ doing a ‘legacy remix of “One More Chance,” with Faith Evans.
Christopher Wallace’s legacy now lives not only in song and in the hearts of millions of fans around the globe, but on film for future generations to experience the NOTORIOUS B.I.G.
