The Notorious B.I.G.

Released videos including "Juicy," "Big Poppa," "Hypnotize," and "Mo Money Mo Problems," with the latter two becoming Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles from his posthumous 1997 album Life After Death. His 1994 debut Ready to Die made him the central figure of East Coast hip-hop and helped restore the region's prominence when West Coast artists dominated the genre.
