The Notorious B.I.G – also know as Biggie Smalls or Biggie – was in Los Angeles to promote his sophomore album Life After Death on March 9, 1997 when he was fatally shot at the age of 24.
The Brooklyn-bred MC was signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records at the time, when he was shot four times in a drive-by shooting.
