The Greatest Music
Life After Death
The 351st greatest album of all time
Life After Death is the second and final studio album by The Notorious B.I.G., released in 1997 shortly after his death. The double album blends East Coast hip hop and gangsta rap with pop-leaning hooks, pairing cinematic, sample-driven production and orchestral touches with vivid street narratives and braggadocio. It alternates gritty, hard-edged tracks and radio-friendly singles, emphasizes dense storytelling and mafioso-themed lyrics, and includes notable guest appearances that broaden its sonic palette, marking it as a defining work of 1990s New York rap.
