POCKET BIGGIE WISDOM

Biggie Smalls’ deep voice, effortless flow, vulnerable storytelling and vivid portraits of criminal life immortalised him in the hip-hop hall of fame, even before his death at the age of 24. In this collection we hear the king of East Coast gangsta rap in his own words - on his early life in Brooklyn, his marriage to Faith Evans, his notorious temper and his infamous friendship-turned-rivalry with Tupac Shakur.
