According to a post on the Biggie’s Myspace, the soundtrack to “Notorious,” the biopic of slain Brooklyn rapper the Notorious B.I.G. will hit on January 6, 2009 via P. Diddy’s BadBoy records.
The disc will evidently feature many Biggie classics plus one of his demos and new tracks by Jay-Z, Jadakiss, and more.
Directed by George Tillman Jr., the film stars rapper Jamal Woodward as Bigs, Derek Luke as Puff Daddy, Angela Bassett as Mrs. Voletta Wallace (Biggie’s Mom) and Anthony Mackie as Tupac Shakur among others.
“Notorious” comes out via Fox Searchlight on January 16 and the DVD is already being targeted for a May 5, release date. You can see the latest trailer for the film here.
