Här kommer en trevlig överraskning för Biggie-fans. Under söndagskvällen amerikansk tid delade producenten Statik Selektah med sig av en tidigare osläppt vers med raplegenden, som inte ens de mest inbitna följarna hört innan.

Some new Biggie for you? (Bored on a Sunday). Even the biggest Notorious fans prob don’t know this verse. Salute @everydayisacanvas for the reminder.

Över en samplad produktion av Statik själv, lyser Biggie med sitt karaktäristiska flow och berättande.

Idén verkar ha kommit från creative director Joe Lyons, som själv kommer att sätta ihop en Biggie-special live på Instagram den 14:e maj.

“I’m excited to announce that on May 14th, here on #Instagramlive I will be doing a session of my most rare #biggiesmalls aka #notoriousbig demos and freestyles. I have one of the most complete collections of his #recordings that exists and I will be playing early versions that many people have never heard before. If you are a huge fan and collector of Biggie’s music you likely have heard most of these tracks, but tune in for a trip down memory lane to the early 90s when #nychiphop ruled”, skriver han på sociala medier.

A lot of you may (or may not) know that I have a background in the music industry which dates back to college when I was Dj-ing. I’ve been collecting music my whole life and this pandemic has me itching to do my next #collaboration project. – – I’m excited to announce that on May 14th, here on #Instagramlive I will be doing a session of my most rare #biggiesmalls aka #notoriousbig demos and freestyles.
