Notorious B.I.G.

Born Christopher George Wallace on May 21, 1972, in Brooklyn, New York, also known as Notorious B.I.G was a rapper hailed as the greatest rapper of all time. Wallace entered the rapping scene in 1992. He was then signed under Sean Comb’s Bad Boy Records label and had massive hits such as Juicy and Big Poppa. Although his time in the spotlight was short-lived, Wallace released several albums that topped the charts that landed him popularity and significance in the rap scene.

Wallace married Faith Evans in 1994. Together they have a son named after him and was later called C. J. Before his marriage with Evans, Wallace had a daughter from his previous girlfriend. His ambition to provide for his children and have them finish college with no student loans drove Wallace to succeed and work hard as a rapper. As he gained detractors and enemies, Wallace’s career ended in 1997. Despite his demise, his posthumous albums skyrocketed the charts and probably benefitted his family.
