Netflix has announced a new documentary about the Notorious B.I.G. Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell, which is executive produced by the late rap legend’s mother Violetta Wallace and Sean “Diddy” Combs, will land on the streaming service on March 1, eight days before the 24th anniversary of the rapper’s death.
The new film will cover Biggie’s early life and his ascendance to rap superstardom, with appearances by Faith Evans, Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s Lil Cease, and others.
A description of the film reads: “Every legend has an origin story. Christopher Wallace, AKA The Notorious B.I.G., remains one of Hip-Hop’s icons, renowned for his distinctive flow and autobiographical lyrics. This documentary celebrates his life via rare behind-the-scenes footage and the testimonies of his closest friends and family.”
Biggie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. “Nobody has come close to the way Biggie sounds, to the way he raps, to the frequency that he hits,” Diddy said of his late friend during the remote induction ceremony.
