It Was All a Dream: Biggie and the World That Made Him
The Notorious B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the 1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life: young trouble, drug dealing, guns, prison, a giant hit record, the wealth and international superstardom that came with it, then an early violent death. Biggie released his first record, Ready to Die , in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his second record, Life After Death .
