“Nothing is going to be handed to me,” he added. “I appreciate him for instilling that in me. Wanting to strive for certain things and wanting to be something that’s bigger than just ‘somebody’s son.’ It’s bigger than that for me and my sister as well.”
Next month a super deluxe box set of ‘Life After Death’ will be released in honour of Biggie’s 50th birthday.
