Description

Like they always do, Sumit and Chris take a trip down memory lane. 21 years ago, the late, great Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G. released his second and final album, 'Life After Death' on Bad Boy Records. As we all know, Biggie didn't live to see the album stop time and push the culture forward because he was tragically gunned down just two weeks before by some bad mind parasite. Whilst the dates, times and places may be hazy for some, Sumit and Chris time travel back to March 1997 and recount - with stunning accuracy - some of the key points around this cutting-edge double album. Themes such as sound, content, featured artists and favourite songs are explored. Like typical Hip Hop heads, they also pick apart all the subliminal shots sprinkled throughout the 24 track opus. Your favourite rapper likely caught a head shot. It was a competitive time. Shrug... Why didn't Biggie ever learn to drive? Did he dig his own grave with his own mouth? Who killed the best rapper of all time? These are the questions...
