From Henry Adaso, your Guide to Rap / Hip-Hop

Today is National Hip-Hop Day Day aka the birthday of Christopher Wallace (aka Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls aka Frank White aka Frankie aka Mr. Unbelievable aka King of New York). Biggie would have been a young 42 today. Jay Z is 44. Those two things have nothing to do with each other.

Anywho, take some time to get to know the late great Frank White. You never know when you might have to impress a friend with some Biggie tidbits.
