In a tribute to her son, east coast hip hop notable Notorious BIG, Ms. Voletta Wallace will unveil a wax figure of hip hop legendary Biggie Smalls aka Notorious BIG (born: Christopher Wallace) on Thursday, October 25th at 11:00 a.m. at Madame Tussauds New York, 234 West 42nd St. (b/w 7th & 8th Aves.), Manhattan.

After the figure is unveiled, 23 high school students from Brooklyn – where the hip hop notable Biggie was born and raised – will honor him by singing “I’ll Be Missing You,” a tribute song released shortly after Biggie’s death, and gospel song, “I’ll Fly Away.” The students are members of the Brooklyn High School of the Arts’ choir.

Biggie is largely recognized by the music community as one of the greatest rap artists of all time. His influence on and absence from the hip hop community can still be felt today – more than 10 years after his tragic death.
