Check Out NPR’s “The Stories Of Notorious B.I.G.” Panel
The Notorious B.I.G. released his debut album Ready to Die 20 years ago. The album is lauded as one of the greatest in hip-hop history and served as the blueprint for many reputable artists today. During Biggie's journey to greatness, he encountered a bevy of friends and journalists along the way. To honor his legacy and his first album, NPR held a special panel at Brooklyn's BRIC House last weekend. Some of the panelists included author dream hampton, The Source's former Unsigned Hype editor Matty C, childhood friend/DJ Hubert Sam and neighbor/jazz musician Donald Harrison Jr. They all ruminated on their fondest memories of the Notorious one. Check it out.
