BROOKLYN, NY — Two new murals unveiled in Brooklyn this week helped mark the 25th anniversary of the death of Biggie Smalls.
The murals — painted on the gates of Fine Care Pharmacy on Fulton Street — are among several ways Brooklynites honored the iconic rapper on Wednesday, the anniversary of the day he was fatally shot in California at just 24 years old.
Artists Eliot Salomé-Diaz, Carlo Nieva, Benny Guerra and Tylan Deputy collaborated on the paintings, which were put on the shop given that Biggie used to hang out there when it was once a liquor store, according to reports.
