'Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell' Lifts Back the Curtain on One of Rap's All-Time Greats
Directed by Emmett Malloy

The latter half of the film documents his rise to fame after the release of Ready to Die, his dedication to fatherhood, and supporting his ill mother — all ramping up to the mysterious late-night shoot-out that left Smalls dead at 24.
Interviews with Smalls' mother, close family friends, and fellow music industry partners paints the portrait of a shy, quiet boy growing up in a city that decided who he would become before he could choose that for himself. Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell showcases Small's immense talent and charm that ultimately cemented his influence in modern day hip-hop history, in spite of his untimely murder.
