A galaxy of rap stars have lent their vocals to a forthcoming Notorious BIG tribute album.
The double album, tentatively titled ‘The Notorious B.I.G: The Final Chapter’ features appearances from the likes of Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige, Ludacris, The Game and Nas.
The songs will all be duets with the late BIG on a range of his tunes.
Speaking at a listening session last week, Bad Boy records supremo Diddy said: "Everyone in the industry wanted to be a part of this, and we got just about everybody."
Mary J Blige told mtv: "Puff called, he said he needed me for this Biggie album. I went to the studio and he played the track. Biggie and Pac was on it, I didn't hear Nas.
“I was listening to the lyrics and I came up with my lyrics based on what they were saying. Mario Winans helped me write it."
Twista who sings on ‘Spit Your Game’ said: "I was glad to contribute, be a part of that and put a tight somethin' somethin' down for my man."
'The Final Chapter' is set to be released Stateside on December 20. The UK version is likely to be released a day earlier.
