The Notorious BIG - Ready to Die (Vinyl 2LP)

Ready To Die is the landmark 1994 debut album from The Notorious B.I.G., establishing Christopher Wallace as one of hip-hop's defining voices. Built around Biggie's effortless flow, vivid storytelling and dark humour, the album combines hard-edged East Coast hip-hop with soul and funk samples, capturing both the ambition and darker realities at the heart of his early work.

This 18-track edition features some of Biggie's most celebrated recordings, including Juicy, Big Poppa, Warning, Gimme The Loot, One More Chance and The What featuring Method Man. It also includes Who Shot Ya as the final track on Side D.

Produced by a team including Sean "Puffy" Combs, Easy Mo Bee, Chucky Thompson, DJ Premier and Lord Finesse, Ready To Die helped return New York hip-hop to the forefront during the mid-1990s. From the autobiographical narrative running through the album to Biggie's distinctive delivery, wordplay and storytelling, it remains an essential release from the era.

This Bad Boy Entertainment / Rhino vinyl reissue presents the album across two black vinyl LPs, housed in a gatefold sleeve. This 18-track configuration includes Who Shot Ya but does not include Just Playing (Dreams).

Supplied brand new and sealed.
