It’s one thing to be a fan of the Notorious B.I.G. but an entirely different gift to have known Christopher Wallace. Whether he was a friend, label mate, mentor or peer, if Biggie was in your life in any capacity, you were blessed.

While conducting these interviews, the toughest question we had to ask was “Do you remember your last conversation with Big?” What we received was a beautiful mix of shared memories from friends to Bad Boy staff. We begin the finale of this ode to B.I.G.’s last days with the producer of his song “Last Day.“

If ever there was a poll to inform which Life After Death song is the global favorite, there’s a strong chance that the winner would be "I Got A Story To Tell". Another writing masterclass; Big gave us action, juicy drama, character development, comedic wit all wrapped in grade A lyricism.

On episode 7 “I Got A Story To Tell,” producer Buckwild discusses his classic collaboration while setting the table for a few of the best Biggie stories from Too Short, DJ Clark Kent, DJ Premier, Barron Claiborne, and of course Lil Cease.

When rap aficionados pinpoint the performance that closed the case on who’s the best MC, it’s usually Big’s verse on “Notorious Thugs.” Never did anyone fathom a New York rapper borrowing the staccato and lullaby flow of Cleveland rap group Bone Thugs N Harmony then taking it to another level.

On episode 6, Fat Joe tells that it was he who brokered the historic Bone and Biggie collab. Bone Thugs manager Steve Lobel joins us to confirm. Then Lil Cease and Layzie Bone revisit that epic studio session in California late 1996.
