On what would have been his 47th birthday, The Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation has announced that The Notorious B.I.G. will be honoured with his own street.

St. James Place, located at the Fulton Street intersection in Biggie’s native Brooklyn, will be renamed to Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace Way in honour of the late rap legend.

Biggie’s mother Ms. Voletta Wallace and his children, T’Yanna and Christopher, will be in attendance during the ceremony on June 10, along with Brooklyn politicians and some of his closest celebrity friends. The ceremony starts at noon and is open to the public.


“Honouring Biggie symbolizes more than just one man,” LeRoy McCarthy, who spearheaded the initiative, told Rolling Stone. “It symbolizes a culture. It symbolises a borough. It symbolises a people, and hip-hop is worldwide.
