Marking the 10th anniversary of his murder, Bad Boy Records is about to release Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Greatest Hits'.
Christopher Wallace a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in the early hours of March 9th 1997 while leaving a party in Los Angeles. His death came just 6 months after the murder of Tupac Shakur. Neither of the cases was resolved and are widely speculated to be related.Notorious B.I.G. recorded for P. Diddy's Bad Boy Records. "Christopher Wallace was more than an artist, he was my friend," said Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs in a statement. "The Notorious B.I.G., as most knew him, was a rapper, a story teller, and a prolific poet. However, many didn't have a chance to see the Father, Husband, and Man that I knew. Through his words, persona, life, and music, he was able to open doors and create opportunities for Hip-Hop as a whole. I wanted to celebrate his legacy, life, and work as we mourn his senseless death 10 years ago. The release of 'Greatest Hits' makes it clear to the world why the Notorious B.I.G. is the greatest rapper of all time."
Notorious B.I.G.'s biggest album 'Life After Death' has now sold more than 10 million units in the USA.
