The hangover you’ll wake up with is the stuff of legends. If you ever needed a lesson on the purest measures of hip hop, then take a double shot of Ready to Die and talk to us in the morning. His classic vocals are accurately mixed with dry humour, searing wit and the kind of flow that makes rivers blush. Throughout the record, he showcases that life and proves why it will soon be a matter of history to him as hip hop legend status awaited him.

Wallace had spent much of his life “waking up every morning, hustling, cutting school, looking out for my moms, the police, stickup kids just risking my life every day on the street selling drugs,” something he confirmed to Rolling Stone. It is arguably the very moment Christopher Wallace became unstoppably notorious. His debut album Ready to Die acknowledged the past it was a seizing of the present that surrounded the rapper and a proclamation of the future. An expert at determining flow and delivering killer punchlines, BIG always operated on an upper echelon that few could match.
