THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. - Ready To Die

A raw portrait of early ’90s Brooklyn at the edge of chaos. 

Mixing dark humor, vivid storytelling, and unmatched lyrical precision, Biggie transformed street realism into pop culture legend. From the grim confessions of “Everyday Struggle” and “Suicidal Thoughts” to the smooth hit “Big Poppa,” the album captures both the desperation and charisma of a hustler on the rise.

Ready to Die helped shape the blueprint for East Coast hip-hop - balancing underground grit with radio-ready appeal. Biggie’s wordplay, personality, and larger-than-life delivery made him the bridge between rap’s golden age and its commercial explosion.
