Today would have been Christopher Wallace, aka the Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls’ 46th birthday had he not been shot and killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles back in 1997.
The murder has yet to be solved, and a new movie called City of Lies starring Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker is here to shed some much-needed light on the case. Check out the trailer above.
Here’s the official synopsis:
