- who in just a few short years shot from the tough streets of Brooklyn to the heights of hip hop legend Peeling back his mythic image eleven years after his tragic death Notorious reveals the tumultuous & all-too-brief journey of a blazingly talented fiercely determined young man whose unforgettable rap stories of inner city street life with their raw truth & vivid rhymes became emblamatic of a whole generation&s brutal reality & its dreams of escaping it for something bigger The story follows the young Biggie (portrayed by Wallace&s real-life son Christopher Jordan Wallace as a youngster & Brooklyn rapper Jamal Woolard as an adult) from his surprising youth as a Catholic school honour student whose proud mother (Angel Bassett) tries to keep him off the street corners to his years as a tough teenage drug dealer & then to his life-changing move into young fatherhood as his girlfriend Jan (Julia Pace Mitchell) gives birth to his daughter prompting him to go on a mission to provide for his child by any means
