Christopher Wallace, AKA The Notorious B.I.G., remains one of Hip-Hop’s icons, renowned for his distinctive flow and autobiographical lyrics. This documentary celebrates his life via rare behind-the-scenes footage and the testimonies of his closest friends and family”.
The docu-series will focus on the people, places and events as well as the emotional and personal journey that made Wallace one of the greatest rappers. He was shot four times and killed in a drive-by shooting on March 9, 1997. He was 24 years old at the time of his death.
