"On December 16th, a hyper-realistic avatar of the late East Coast rap legend Notorious B.I.G. will be holding a concert and performing tracks from his catalogue in Meta's Horizon Worlds. The show, which will use a virtual recreation of 90's era Brooklyn as a backdrop, will also feature performances by guest artists like Bad Boy Records founder Sean "Diddy" Combs and a narrative journey of Biggie's life by American music journalist Touré

Not everyone's impressed that Meta is bringing an artist back from the dead in avatar form, of course, and the effort was met with a deluge of criticism in HotNewHipHop's tweet about the project. Meta said, however, that it received the blessing of The Notorious B.I.G. Estate and that the concert will celebrate his life and legacy. Touré, who was in charge of the narrative aspect of the concert, also said that he "interviewed Biggie's mother and sat in her kitchen, so she knows that [he loves] her son and will take care of his legacy."
