The Notorious B.I.G. Limited Edition Street Signs Being Sold

Brooklyn has found another way to celebrate The Notorious B.I.G.‘s debut album, “Ready to Die,” which debuted on Sept. 13, 1994. The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) announced that it is selling limited-edition street signs for the 30th anniversary of the first album released on Bad Boy Records.

The announcement was made by NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez on Sept. 23 letting New Yorkers and hip-hop fans know that there will be a limited number of commemorative Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace Way street signs for sale.

“Notorious B.I.G. famously said to ‘Spread love – it’s the Brooklyn way’ – and now as a tribute to the legacy of an iconic rapper and storyteller, we are excited to offer a unique opportunity for you to own a piece of NYC history that commemorates his Brooklyn street,” said Rodriguez in a written statement. “We hope his fans go check it out – and stay tuned for our next monthly sign drop, which will allow all who love New York City to celebrate the people, places, and special occasions that make it the greatest city in the world.”

If you need to have this in your collection, you’d have to hurry up as only 100 signs will be available. The street signs can be purchased online for $75 at the CityStore, the Official Store of the City of New York. Sadly, you can only purchase one since there are only 100 being sold. The proceeds will benefit the city’s general fund.

In June 2019, the Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace Way street sign was placed at the corner of St. James Place and Fulton Street, where B.I.G. grew up in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn.

This news comes after Timberland plans to release two colorways, wheat and black, to celebrate the late rapper’s first album. For hip-hop fans, or more specifically, Biggie fans who would like to purchase the boots, they will be available on Sept. 27. They will retail for $210, and the wheat color ones will be offered in grade school sizing for $120.

The larger-than-life recording artist died at the age of 26 on Mar. 26, 1997, weeks before the debut of his second album, “Life After Death.”
