Faith Evans Plans Notorious B.I.G. Duet Album

February 15, 2017 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Two days before his 25th birthday, and just over 20 years since his heartbreaking and still unsolved murder, The Notorious B.I.G. will live on with his widow Faith Evans' duets album, The King & I.

The iconic rapper (born Christopher Wallace) met and married R&B singer and fellow Bad Boy Records label mate Evans in 1994--a turbulent but often loving relationship that ended when Biggie was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1997, 16 days before his second album, Life After Death, hit stores.

The King & I, which features a mix of familiar and rare or unreleased verses from The Notorious B.I.G. is the third posthumous album with a formal credit to Biggie, after 1999's Born Again and 2005's Duets: The Final Chapter. Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, 112, Jadakiss, Lil' Kim, Lil' Cease and Jamal Woolard (who portrayed Biggie in both the 2009 biopic Notorious and this summer's All Eyez on Me, a biopic about Wallace's rival Tupac Shakur) make guest appearances on the 25 tracks on the record, which feature production by DJ Premier, Just Blaze, Salaam Remi and more.

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
