Originally released on 13th September 1994, Ready To Die is the debut studio album from hip-hop legend, The Notorious B.I.G. Upon release, the album was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Pitchfork giving it a 10/10 rating along with various other critics praising it for its brutally honest depiction of gang violence and conflict as opposed to the often-glorified portrayal in the genre and the wider media. The album has cemented its place in hip-hop history and has since gone on to achieve 6x platinum certification in the US, selling over 3.5 million copies, and has achieved platinum status in the UK as well. 

It is widely considered a classic of the genre and showcases Biggie's distinctive storytelling style and features hits like "Juicy," "Big Poppa," and "One More Chance." With its raw lyrics and gritty production, "Ready to Die" remains a defining album of the East Coast hip hop scene.
