Who is Biggie Smalls? (WIB Rap Radio Exclusive) – Chase March

Quick question – Do you know who Biggie Smalls is?

Have you heard any of his music?

I doubt you have. I hadn’t prior to beginning research on the last edition of Know Your History, where I looked at rappers that had the same name as other musicians. I was going to get into Biggie in that episode but ended up diving down a deep research rabbit hole. Want to join me and we look at just exactly who was this Biggie Smalls character. Who owns that name? And why is the story so complicated.
