Description
This 38-foot-tall tribute to Bed-Stuy’s own Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G., was created by artists Naoufal “Rocko” Alaoui and Scott “Zimer” Zimmerman of Spread Art NYC in 2015, just a few blocks from where the hip-hop icon grew up. Legend has it that this spot marks one of the infamous street corners where a teenage Biggie freestyled when he was just starting out.
