14 years ago today, Christopher Wallace was shot and killed in Los Angeles, in what was believed to be part of a label feud, however the murder remains unsolved. A number of trending topics have appeared on Twitter in memory of the artist, and no doubt millions of people around the world have been playing his music all day.
I wanted to pay my tributes with one song, but while I was listening to his music today I realised his catalogue is far too diverse to pick just one song. From Juicy to Hypnotize, party and bullsh.t to Big Poppa...his back catalogue, for such a short career, is incredible. I've chosen to post an incredible mashup project from Wait What, a San Francisco DJ/Producer, who released the mix last year as a tribute to Biggie's Life After Death album. The Notorious XX blends the sounds of Biggie, with the melodic beats of The XX, and what's better, is you can download the whole thing for free. Check it out below and remember a hip hop legend.

Apologies for the hotlinking image, I'll admit I pinched the original photo from some wallpaper site...turns out they didn't like it! Image sorted now!
