Celebrating the Life and Legacy of The Notorious B.I.G.
Every year on March 9, hip-hop fans around the world pause to celebrate the life, music, and cultural impact of The Notorious B.I.G., widely known as Biggie Smalls. Born Christopher Wallace in Brooklyn, New York, Biggie became one of the most influential rappers of all time, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape music, storytelling, and culture decades after his passing.
For fans across the country—including right here in Raleigh and the Triangle—the music of Biggie Smalls remains timeless. His voice, lyricism, and ability to paint vivid pictures of life in New York City transformed hip-hop and helped define an era.
From Brooklyn to Hip-Hop Royalty
Born on May 21, 1972, in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Christopher Wallace grew up surrounded by the sounds and struggles of New York City street life. Through storytelling, rhythm, and unmatched lyrical flow, he turned those experiences into unforgettable music.
Biggie’s career skyrocketed after being discovered by Sean “Diddy” Combs, who signed him to Bad Boy Records in the early 1990s.
His debut album, Ready to Die, released in 1994, quickly became a classic. The album included legendary tracks like:
Juicy, Big Poppa, One More Chance
These songs showcased Biggie’s charisma, storytelling ability, and smooth flow, establishing him as one of the greatest lyricists hip-hop had ever seen.
A Lasting Impact on Hip-Hop Culture
Biggie’s music helped redefine East Coast hip-hop during the 1990s and played a major role in the genre’s mainstream rise. His second album, Life After Death, was released just weeks after his tragic passing in March 1997.
The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and produced several iconic songs, including:
Hypnotize Mo Money Mo Problems Sky’s the Limit
Today, Life After Death is widely considered one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever created.
Biggie’s influence can still be heard in the work of modern artists across hip-hop, R&B, and even pop music. His storytelling style, punchlines, and flow helped set the standard for generations of rappers.
The Legacy Lives On
Even nearly three decades after his passing, the legacy of Biggie Smalls continues to grow. His music still dominates playlists, inspires new artists, and brings fans together across generations.
March 9 has become an unofficial global celebration of Biggie’s life, often referred to by fans as “Biggie Day.” Across cities and communities—from Brooklyn to Raleigh—fans celebrate by playing his music, sharing memories, and honoring one of hip-hop’s greatest storytellers.
Biggie once famously rapped in Juicy:
“It was all a dream…”
What started as a dream in Brooklyn became a global legacy that changed music forever.
Today, we remember Christopher Wallace — The Notorious B.I.G. — Biggie Smalls — a legend whose voice will never fade.

White painters are celebrated for having muses as their inspiration for their works.
Black Artists are not.
Perhaps neither should be celebrated for such.

Omkhar retirement lesson #3 : How to get rich quick.
You don't.
Here's what works:
1) Spend less than you earn, and save/invest.
2) Never take credit*. Prioritize paying debts ASAP.
3) You cannot time the market. You can dollar cost average.
4) Minimize taxes and management fees.
5) Slow and steady wins the race.
6) You’re not smart enough to pick individual stocks for alpha, just buy index funds and find a hobbby.
7) Diversify.
8) Stop taking advice from bozos on social media - especially me.* Source: Biggie Smalls, Global Macro Strategist, 10 Crack Commandments, 1997
