Lincoln Center will honor the late rapper Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls and the Notorious B.I.G., with an orchestral tribute as part of its 'Summer for the City' program.
New York City is preparing to honor the late rapper Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls and the Notorious B.I.G., who would have turned 50 on May 21.
The Lincoln Center premiere, supported by The Estate of the Notorious B.I.G., will feature a concert symphony performance of his most well known songs from the multi-platinum album"Ready to Die" and the 11-times Platinum"Life After Death."And in true Lincoln Center form, the suggested attire is being called"creative black tie."
"I'm so elated, so happy," Atwood-Ferguson said."I have a great feeling about it. But just how daunting it feels, and I take that so serious, deadly serious." New York City's legendary DJ collective The Originals -- featuring Clark Kent, Stretch Armstrong, Rich Medina and Tony Touch -- will add their incredible musical curation to compliment this iconic evening.
Wallace grew up in Central Brooklyn and released two Grammy-nominated studio records during his career, which was tragically cut short at the age of 24 in a still-unsolved murder.
