Netflix have just dropped the trailer for their newest documentary coming to the platform: Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell.
Biggie: I Got A Story to Tell celebrates the life and talent of Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls, telling the story of his journey from hustler to rap king.
In a nutshell: “Before he was Big, he was Christopher.”
The documentary reveals the details of Biggie’s origin story on his seemingly overnight success to legend status. Spoken by Diddy himself, “Biggie blew up over night. There are no origins for what rap planet this guy came from.”
Details are still scarce (as they should be) on what we know about the documentary so far, however appearances by Faith Evans, Lil Cease have been confirmed.
Though it’s not the first Biggie documentary, this one has been executive-produced by Biggie Smalls’ mother, Violetta Wallace and Sean Combs, aka Diddy.
As per Pitchfork, it also follows Biggie’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Diddy said at the induction ceremony, “Nobody has come close to the way Biggie sounds, to the way he raps, to the frequency that he hits.”
