Life After Death

The Notorious B.I.G. · 1997

Life After Death appeared in March 1997, sixteen days after the Notorious B.I.G.'s murder. The double album continues from Ready to Die's ending, but its musical ambitions spread outward through a much larger cast. Its posthumous release should not erase the deliberate breadth of the project.

Ready to Die

The Notorious B.I.G. · 1994

The Notorious B.I.G.'s 1994 debut is a partly autobiographical sequence about crime, ambition and emotional instability. Released by Bad Boy, it moves from an introduction sketching a life toward an ending that undermines any easy success story. It was the only album issued during his lifetime.
