The Notorious B.I.G., the essential Old School RAP figure who soundtracked so many people’s teenage years in the 90s, is gradually carving out a place for himself in today’s hits. Murdered in 1997, Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G., still had everything he needed to pursue a great career and drop more gems on us, but life had other plans. Almost 20 years after his death, his audience keeps on growing, and several electronic music producers are paying tribute to him by trying to give his music a second life.

Paxel, another electronic music producer from Bordeaux, also does him proud with his Tropical House version of “Can I Get Witcha”. A remix that has been played several million times online and helped Paxel rise very quickly.
And when The Notorious B.I.G. meets the great and magnificent Flume, the result is something original and incredible…
