Description

In this second edition of The Murder of Biggie Smalls, Cathy Scott delves behind the scenes to pore over police records, coroner reports, FBI files, and interviews Biggie's mother, Voletta Wallace, to reveal new facts surrounding the gangsta rapper's murder.

The Notorious B.I.G. exploded onto the hip-hop scene in 1995 with his platinum-selling album Ready to Die.

Biggie Smalls, born Christopher Wallace and performing as Notorious B.I.G., grew up in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where he dropped out of high school to pursue street culture and his rapping style.

Biggie began emceeing his original raps, which were discovered by producer Sean "Puffy" Combs, who took Biggie's gangsta image to the next level.

Fame followed two successful rap albums earning million of dollars, a 1996 Billboard Rapper of the Year Award, marriage to R&B singer Faith Evans, a public affair with rapper L'il Kim, and hanging out with Tupac Shakur.

The high life for Biggie tragically ended March 9, 1997, after a Los Angeles post-awards party, where he was gunned down in a drive-by, much like friend-turned-enemy Shakur six months earlier.

Twenty-four years later, L.A. police still have made no arrests, despite their early confidence that the case would be solved quickly, and after revealing identities of persons of interest who worked for the police department.

They dropped the investigation before it ended, stalling the case.

Bestselling True Crime author Cathy Scott shares it all in this second edition of The Murder of Biggie Smalls.
