[Notorious B.I.G.]
Yeah, yeah yeah
It's the Notorious Biggie Smalls
When I ain't on Fulton Street, sipping a Becks, steaming an L with the Junior M.A.F.I.A.
Or on Bedford Avenue with my DJ The Hitman 50 Grand and the O.G.B., getting tore down
We listening to the best of both worlds with Mr. Magic Spanish Fly and my main doo-doo stain, Mister Cee.
On The Wheels Of Steel every Thursday night, on 91.5 Skills FM. I'm a ghost like Michael Landon, peace.

Considered by many to be one of the greatest rappers of all time, The Notorious B.I.G. was a major figure in both hardcore hip-hop and 90’s pop music until his murder in 1997 at age 24. He’s best known for his #1 hits “Hypnotize” and “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems,” his top 10 hits “One More Chance (Stay with Me Remix)” and “Big Poppa,” and his iconic early single “Juicy.”

In addition to his crossover hits, Biggie is known for innovative multi-syllabic lyricism and creative storytelling techniques, heard on critical favorites like “Warning,” “Suicidal Thoughts,” “Ten Crack Commandments,” “I Got A Story To Tell,” and “Gimme The Loot.”

As a teenager, Brooklyn native Christopher Wallace started rapping as Biggie Smalls, the name of a mobster character in the 1975 action comedy Let’s Do It Again. He recorded a demo with local Bed-Stuy DJ 50 Grand, which caught the attention of Mister Cee, who was well-known as Big Daddy Kane’s DJ. Cee introduced his demo to the industry, landing him a spot in The Source’s coveted “Unsigned Hype” column in the magazine’s March 1992 issue. Sean “Puffy” Combs, a successful A&R, also heard the demo and signed Big to Uptown Records.
