​

“The Notorious B.I.G. has such a lasting appeal because our Hip Hop culture recognizes his authenticity, his genius, his heart and his potential!  His authenticity mirrors the roots of Hip Hop, the voice of the voiceless, of disenfranchised black and brown youth who put their personal stories of hardship and fun on record. There is a relatable human experience in that duality. His genius is recognized in his art, his delivery, cadence, rhyme pattern and style is the highest level of storytelling in the spoken word tradition. His heart was huge, his family, friends and community can attest to this. Lastly, the heart-breaking understanding of what his maturing creative and community contribution could have offered the world! We see the maturity and successes of his contemporaries and we recognize he would have been as or more impactful if he was still here. So we celebrate what he was able to offer as his legacy." - Sherwin Banfield ~ ARTIST
