Notorious BIG Ringtones

Notorious B.I.G. was born Christopher George Latore Wallace on May 21, 1972. His other names include Biggie Smalls, Big Poppa, and Frank White. Biggie began rapping at a young age, but went unsigned until 1992 when producer Sean "Puffy" Combs signed him to Uptown records. The duo switched to Combos' own label, Bad Boy Records, shortly after. In 1994 Notorious B.I.G. released Ready to Die. His second album, Life After Death, released 15 days after his death in 1997.

Biggie became heavily involved in the East-West Coast hip-hop feud with his former associate Tupac Shakur. Tupac accused Biggie of setting him up in a 1994 robbery and shooting, which led to the feud. Biggie Smalls was shot on March 9, 1997. The driver of an Impala pulled next to B.I.G.’s Suburban, rolled down his window, and shot Biggie four times in the chest. His murder remains unsolved, although many theories surfaced in various books and articles.
