NOLLYWOOD: Art inspired by the Notorious B.I.G. to cover Bed-Stuy gallery’s walls 20 years after the hip hop legend’s death

A Brooklyn art exhibit will pay homage to the legacy of local hero Christopher Wallace — aka The Notorious B.I.G. — to mark the 20th anniversary of his West Coast murder.

Spread Art NYC is hosting the “20 Big Years” event in honor of the 20th anniversary of the rapper’s death.

Naoufal Aloui, also known as “Rocko,” arranged the tribute, which will take place at the Bishop Gallery at 916 Bedford Ave.

The group Spread Art NYC curated the Biggie show along with Bishop Gallery co-owners Dunn and Erwin John.

The “20 BIG Years” show opens Friday and runs through Sunday.

Biggie was shot four times and killed on March 9, 1997, in a drive-by slaying as the he left a party after the Soul Train Music Awards.  

No one was ever arrested for the Los Angeles shooting.

The homage will also include a screening of “Bedford and Quincy,” with footage of Biggie hanging out in the neighborhood with local rap heroes like DJ 50 Grand and the Old Gold Brothers.

The title refers to the Bed-Stuy corner of Bedford Ave. and Quincy St., now home to a 38-foot tall mural of Biggie — sporting the familiar gold crown.
