Notorious

This is a story of raw talent and sheer determination. Jamal Woolard plays Christopher Jordan Wallace, aka "Biggie Smalls," a Brooklyn street hustler who became one of the greatest rappers of all time—The Notorious B.I.G.—refusing to succumb to expectations and redefining the notion of "The American Dream." The story uncovers the complicated relationships in the rapper's life—including protégé Kimberly "Lil' Kim" Jones, wife-and-R&B singer Faith Evans, and longtime friend-turned-rival Tupac Shakur—examining the struggle, music, and triumph of game-changer Christopher Wallace, who became one of the most celebrated hip-hop icons in history.
