East coast rapper Christopher Wallace, better known as The Notorious B.I.G or Biggie Smalls, was born and raised in Brooklyn. Juicy, the first single off his debut album, describes his tough upbringing. The song samples the instrumental and some lyrics from Mtume's 1983 hit Juicy Fruit. For the video, Biggie is seen on St. James and Fulton Streets where he grew up, showing his ascent from poverty to the lap of luxury.
