To mark Christopher Wallace, internationally known as The Notorious BIG's 44th birthday anniversary, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams officially declared May 21 as "Christopher 'The Notorious BIG' Wallace Day."

Adams made the announcement last week as the legendary Biggie Smalls was a Bedford-Stuyvesant native, reports the Independent.

"On his birthday, Brooklyn salutes one of our own, who has never been forgotten as long as his music plays," Adams said.

"His energy will remain and continue to inspire people throughout not only the borough of Brooklyn, but Biggie put Brooklyn on the map," he added.

The 'Juicy' hit-maker was killed in Los Angeles in 1997, he was 24-years-old, which has gone unsolved.
