Some figures don't just influence a genre, they define it. The Notorious B.I.G. was more than a rapper, he was a storyteller, a poet of the streets, and a symbol of greatness agaisnt all odds. This is my tribute to his legacy, bold, unapologetic and larger than life. 
 
The perspective in this painting, Biggie stares down from above, his presence undeniable, his expression one of confidence and power. The grayscale tones of his face give him an almost mythic quality, like a king carved into history. His diamond studded rings glint with the weight of success, a symbol of how far he came, while the electric blues of iconic jacket pop against the vivid background.
 
The backdrop, an explosion of reds, yellows and greens, pays homage to hip-hop's roots, Afrocentric influence and Brooklyn's raw energy. The patterns feel alive, almost pulsating like the bass of a classic Biggie track rattling through speakers.
 
This piece isn't just a portrait, it's an anthem, a visual beat drop, a reminder of an artist who turned struggle into poetry and ambition into legend. For the culture, and those who still feel his impact who carry his words like scripture, and who understand that legends never die, this one's for you.
