Notorious B.I.G
Known for his ferocious rap style, Notorious B.I.G released his debut album “Ready to Die” in 1994. At 24, he was widely considered to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. He died in his prime when he was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California in 1997, just a few weeks before the release of his second album, “Life After Death”.
