As part of the fashion feature, Vibe re-creates its memorable October 1995 cover featuring Biggie and his wife Faith Evans in the back of a 1968 Cadillac DeVille. To celebrate the rapper’s legacy, most of the magazine’s exclusive photos – styled by veteran Vibe Fashion Director Memsor Kamarake – were shot on St. James Place in Brooklyn, NY, the site of Biggie’s childhood home.

NOTORIOUS is scheduled for nationwide release on January 16, 2009 by Fox Searchlight Pictures. For more information, please visit www.Notorious09.com (official movie site) & www.NotoriousBlog.net (producer’s blog).
