FROM THE BACK OF THE DVD: The Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed on March 9, 1997; two weeks later his album Life After Death was released and went on to sell over 18 million records. Ten years later, “Life After Death: The Movie” chronicles the music family he left behind from 1997-2007 in an epic story of friendship and betrayal. After B.I.G.‘s death, his right hand man, D-Roc manages Lil’ Kim and Junior Mafia through a decade of triumph and tragedy as they live, work, and travel the world together ending with the infamous Hot 97 New York City radio station shootout that landed Lil’ Kim and D-Roc in Federal Prison and labeled their former friends as “snitches.”
This true story is told solely from unseen home video footage from the crew and takes us through the ‘Golden Age’ of New York hip-hop with archive footage of hip-hop’s biggest stars, from Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, The Lox, Mase, Jay-Z and more. This DVD includes personal footage of the Hot 97 shootout and an end-all exclusive interview with D-Roc, who refused to testify in Lil’ Kim’s perjury trial for his alleged involvement in the shootout. Until now, he had declined to be interviewed, but on this DVD, he gives a detailed account of the incident and the fallout.
Narrated by Jamie Hector of the HBO series The Wire, this is a must-see documentary about honor and loyalty for every hip-hop fan worldwide.
