Every legend has an origin story. Christopher Wallace, AKA The Notorious B.I.G., remains one of hip-hop’s icons. Renowned for his distinctive flow and autobiographical lyrics, a new documentary titled, Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell, celebrating his life via rare behind-the-scenes footage and the testimonies of his closest friends and family is set to premiere on Netflix on March 1. 

With unprecedented access granted by the Wallace estate, this cinematic documentary is an emotional and personal journey through the people, places, and events that created the greatest hip-hop artist of all-time.

In recently unearthed footage from his breakout years, we go behind the scenes with Biggie to watch him create classic songs in the studio and bring them to life onstage in incredible unseen concert clips. Intimate and candid interviews show the most trusted members of Biggie’s inner circle opening up like never before to share stories that have never been told publicly.

In the words of his mother, Voletta Wallace: “This will be the first documentary to focus on the experiences of my son’s life rather than the circumstances of his death. It is a celebration of who he was and where he came from. This is how he would have wanted to be remembered.”
