Our Take

Notorious B.I.G's debut album "Ready to Die" is a true masterpiece that solidifies his status as one of the greatest rappers of all time. From the moment you press play, you are transported into the gritty streets of Brooklyn, where Biggie's storytelling and smooth flow keep you hooked from start to finish.

The album kicks off with the iconic track "Juicy", a rags-to-riches tale that showcases Biggie's lyrical prowess and infectious charisma. From there, we are taken on a journey through the highs and lows of his life, from the club banger "Big Poppa" to the introspective "Everyday Struggle". Each track is a testament to Biggie's storytelling ability and his undeniable talent as a lyricist.

With production from some of hip-hop's biggest names, including Easy Mo Bee and DJ Premier, the beats are as fresh and innovative as Biggie's rhymes. The album seamlessly blends classic samples with modern sounds, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and ahead of its time.

Overall, "Ready to Die" is a timeless classic that has stood the test of time. Biggie's raw honesty and clever wordplay make this album a must-listen for any hip-hop fan. So grab a glass of Cristal, put on your Kangol hat, and press play on this iconic album - you won't be disappointed.

With his smooth delivery and knack for storytelling, Biggie quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the rap game. His debut album "Ready to Die" is a certified classic, showcasing his raw talent and unparalleled storytelling ability.
