Released 2022, US

Double vinyl LP pressing. The Notorious B.I.G. delivered his debut album, Ready to Die, in September 1994. Its lead single, "Juicy," went gold, and the follow-up smash, "Big Poppa," achieved platinum sales and reached the Top Ten on both the pop and R&B charts. Biggie's third single, "One More Chance," tied Michael Jackson's "Scream" for the highest debut ever on the pop charts; it entered at #5, eventually peaking at #2, and reached #1 on the R&B side. By the time the dust settled, Ready to Die had sold over four million copies and turned The Notorious B.I.G. into a hip-hop sensation - the first major star the East Coast had produced since the rise of Dr. Dre's West Coast G-funk.
