In the past we have seen hip-hop greats such as Tupac and Eazy-E resurrect and make their return to the stage in the form of holograms. Now the next hip-hop great to make a return to the stage is none other than the Notorious B.I.G.
Not too long ago his widow Faith Evans announced that she was working on a new duets album with her late husband titled “The King & I”. She also mentioned that she was in talk with various hologram companies to use his image for music videos and on stage.
It has now been confirmed by Biggie’s estate that ARHT Media Group will use his digital image to bring the Brooklyn rapper back to the stage. And the first place we can expect to see Biggie’s resurrection is in Faith Evan’s new music video to support the single from their new album.
Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace told Billboard, “This project has been a long-time coming, and it is very special to me. Words can’t even capture how elated I am for the world to finally see my son again on stage and beyond. Christopher’s impact and legacy will not only live through his past work, but also the new experiences which have been made possible through ARHT Media.”
Evans also said, “After seeing all the technologies out there, I realized right away that ARHT Media would be the best partner to bring back Notorious B.I.G.”
It is also rumored that the hologram will also make an appearance next month in Brooklyn at the “Puff Daddy & The Family” concert at the Barclays Center.
