Notorious B.I.G.
Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was a prominent American rapper and songwriter known for his distinctive flow and storytelling ability. Rising to fame in the mid-1990s, he became a central figure in the East Coast hip-hop scene and is often regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. His debut album, 'Ready to Die,' released in 1994, is considered a classic and includes hits like 'Juicy' and 'Big Poppa.' Tragically, Biggie's life was cut short when he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1997, a crime that remains unsolved and is often linked to the rivalry between East Coast and West Coast hip-hop artists.
Born on May 21, 1972 (53 years old)
