If The Notorious B.I.G had lived, he would celebrate his 50th birthday on Saturday.
Since he’s not here, his hometown will pay tribute to him. On Friday, the Empire State Building, in partnership with Bad Boy/Atlantic/Rhino Records, will host a ceremony that will include Biggie’s mom,
Voletta Wallace, his children CJ and Tyanna Wallace; his close friend Lil’ Cease, and Lil Kim, among others. And to cap things off in true New York style, the Empire State Building will change its lights’ color to red and white, with a crown spinning on its mast in honor of the late Christopher Wallace, who died in 1997 at the age of 24.
