Christopher George Letore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), also known as Biggie Smalls (after a stylish gangster in 1975's Let's Do it Again), Big Poppa (His nickname for himself in his songs, his character in his raps) and Frank White (from the film King of New York), but best known as The Notorious B.I.G. (Business Instead of Game) was a very popular rapper who rose to fame during the mid-1990s.

Born in Brooklyn, Christopher Wallace was raised at the height of the crack cocaine pandemic of the 1980's, and was a drug dealer in Bedford-Stuyvesant. After becoming a convicted felon, he decided to become a rapper. By the time his critically acclaimed album Ready To Die was released in 1994, he became the central figure of East Coast hip-hop, reviving New York into a hip-hop scene which had previously been focused on West Coast hip-hop. His career was dominated by the Bad Boy/Death Row Records feud, however, following his death in 1997, The Notorious B.I.G. has been celebrated as a hip hop legend. Biggie's double disc set, the equally revered Life After Death, sold over 10 million units and, as of 2006, is the highest selling hip hop album of all time.

Biggie is remembered for his talents in storytelling and freestyling, and his easy to understand yet complex flow. He also pioneered the increasingly popular method of not writing lyrics on paper. Biggie is widely considered to be one of the greatest rappers of all time by both his fans and his peers.
