Album of the Day

Faith Evans and The Notorious B.I.G. met at a photo shoot in 1994 and were married nine days later in one of the most legendary love stories in hip-hop history. Twenty years after Biggie's still unsolved murder, Evans tells the story of their life together with THE KING & I. The album’s 25 tracks feature new vocals by Evans melded with recordings by her late husband along with an impressive list of guest appearances by rap royalty including Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Lil’ Kim, Sheek Louch, and Snoop Dogg. In addition to these stars, Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, provides poignant narration across the album. “I remember telling Ms. Wallace years ago that one day it would be really dope if I could do something similar to Natalie & Nat King Cole’s UNFORGETTABLE,” says Evans, and with THE KING & I she has created something unforgettable for rap fans.
