Biggie Smalls Movie Drops Jan 16

Well y'all heard his music and heard about his legacy, but you ain't seen his movie yet. That's coz the movie drops in the States on January 16th. The Insyder is trying its best to ensure the movie opens in Kenya at least by end Jan, so keep it locked for details on how those plans are coming along. Now to details about the movie...
"Notorious" is about the life of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.
The film stars multiple award winner Angela Bassett as Christopher's mother Voletta Wallace, Derek Luke as Sean Combs, Anthony Mackie as Tupac Shakur and introducing Jamal Woolard as The Notorious B.I.G.
Did I mention the soundtrack to the Notorious movie is sick?! I mean, malaria and cholera type of sick! But that's a story for another blog. In the meantime, and in between time, check out the trailer...baby, baby
