R.I.P. B.I.G. 17th Anniversary of Biggie's Death



On this day 17 years ago we lost  Christopher Wallace, AKA Notorious B.I.G.  He was killed in LA via drive by shooting 16 days before the release of his most successful album to date,  Life After Death.  Biggie's first and only album released while he was alive was the 1994 album Ready to Die.  This album helped spark the Bad Boy Record label dominance of the mid 90's to the new millennium.

There are so many great things to be said, and many other places may have said them already.  If you are a true hip hop head, there isn't much we can tell you about B.I.G. Poppa.  His lyrics were ahead of his time and help bring in a different era of hip hop.  It is our belief that Jay-Z took the Biggie blueprint and took it to the next level.  His untimely death left us all wondering how big his star status would've gotten.  Would it be Biggie invited to the Presidential Parties???  Faith and Biggie with Obama instead of Jay-Z and Beyonce??   Something to think about.





If you are reading this today, take a second to enjoy some of the timeless music Biggie has given to the world.  What is your favorite song or video???  When was the last time you heard a song from Biggie and the club and immediately hit the dance floor??  Most likely you have some Good memories tied to playing one of his albums.  Celebrate his life.  Good Memories.  GoodLife. #GLC



Here are some of our favorites:



This one isn't a Biggie Video.  It's the Lox's tribute song to Biggie
We will always love Big Poppa.  I know yall remember that.

Kicks: Nike Kobe 9 Elite




Check out the look of the Kobe Bryant 9 Elites.  This shoe hits retailers April 11th and the ticket on these are $225.  I like the way the laser knit orange and court purple blend together to bring out the white Nike swoosh. The black and grey sole helps polish off the look. #GLC

Mixtape Monday: Ajax Stacks Flyer Than Before



Here at the GoodLifeCampaign it is Mixtape Monday!!!  We are taking Mondays as an opportunity to highlight a mixtape folks should be checking out if they haven't already.  This Monday is no different!!!

Ajax Stack's Flyer Than Before marks the third official release for the Grand Rapids native.  Flyer than Before has been playing in the deck since the holiday season.  What I like most about the mixtape is the snapshots into the artist.   Never underestimate the power of spoken word, and the way it can connect to people, or better yet helps people connect to the artist.  But please don't think the mixtape is only for folks that appreciate that steez, Stacks made sure to keep something on there for everybody, even the Ignorant (Track 3).



Stacks stays pretty clever with the wordplay and gives his audience a wide variety of tracks.  HUH! (Track 2) is club track that has that hype factor that can get you moving whether you are in the whip or in the club.  Looking for something a little more laid back then check out Talkin Bout (Track 15) feat. Nate Paulson and Vaughn G.  The entire mixtape is filled with great features that fit, but my favorite is Promethazine feat. Dreamer and Duke Greene.  



Another great thing about this mixtape is Stacks also blessed it with several great visuals to get a better view of the vision he is giving you.  Below are a few videos to some of the tracks on Flyer Than Before.  This Mixtape is more than worth the listen, matter of fact make sure you download!!!  Stacks will be heading to the SXSW music festival in Texas.  There is a kickstarter account to help him make it down there.  Help him rep GR on the national stage!!!  Link for that is also below!!  Good Peoples, Good Music, GoodLifeCampaign approved!!!!   High Rise!!!





Enjoy the videos below!!  Nice Work Stacks!!!
