“I met him in his small apartment in Bed-Stuy. We sat in his kitchen and had a cup of tea. He was just a kid and his first album wasn’t even out yet. He rolled a fat blunt as I set up on his roof, a simple white backdrop up against a wall. A few kids were shooting guns off the wall on the next building. “Nothing to worry about”, Biggie said.

It features in the archival film documentary Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell directed by Emmet Malloy. “ - Geoffroy de Boismenu
