Brooklyn Street Officially Renamed Christopher Wallace Way In Honor Of Notorious B.I.G.


After over five years of starts, stops and community board infighting, the corner of St. James Place and Fulton Street in Brooklyn was re-named in honor of The Notorious B.I.G. on Monday.

Despite the rain, dozens of New Yorkers (including Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo) and hip-hop aficionados made their way to Bedford-Stuyvesant this afternoon for the official naming ceremony for "Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace Way."

"I always knew this day was gonna come," Lil Kim, who was discovered by the rapper in 1994, said during the ceremony. “I used to dream about a street being named after Biggie, because it was only right."

Biggie Smalls was gunned down in a still-unsolved 1997 drive-by murder in Los Angeles. He grew up steps away at 226 St. James Place.
