Biggie's mother, Voletta Wallace, told the streaming giant, "This will be the first documentary to focus on the experiences of my son’s life rather than the circumstances of his death.

Biggie, sometimes know as Biggie Smalls, fathered two children before his untimely death in 1997 - daughter T'yanna, born August 8, 1993, and son Christopher George Latore "C. J." Wallace Jr., born October 29, 1996.

C.J. Wallace, the son of Biggie R&B singer Faith Evans, is now an actor, who landed his breakthrough role when he was cast in the 2009 biopic Notorious about his father, where he starred as a young Biggie.

The documentary features snippets of Biggie performing and hanging out with his friends, and gives an inside look into the rockier, darker parts of his career.
