The ghost of Biggie Smalls
- as well as the late rapper's children - are set to star in a new animated TV
show. Seriously. This is an actual project.
The show will focus on
Biggie Smalls' offspring and how they're running his New York recording studio,
producers from Ossian Media said.
House of Wallace will star T'yanna Wallace, 19, and C.J. Wallace, 16, voicing
their animated likenesses. The hip-hop legend's kids said in a statement:
"It's been 16 years
since our Dad was murdered and we miss him dearly."
"It is such an honor
for us to be able to carry on his
legacy, not only through his music but also by channeling him
through our own creativity."
"House Of Wallace
is a great opportunity to bridge the gap between our parents who loved his
music and [those who were] not around to really appreciate it."
While the media group has
yet to partner with a network, it has a few in mind to bring this to fruition.
Another major selling point? B.I.G.'s music.
The series will reportedly
feature original songs, as well as re-imagined renditions of some of the many
classics from the Chris Wallace catalog.
It is not known who will
voice Biggie Smalls' ghost, but the rapper's spirit is expected to be a central
character on the series, mentoring the kids.
The ghost will
"appear in ethereal form to guide them through the adversities they face
as they struggle to preserve their father's labor of love."
It's no Tupac hologram
... but we're intrigued.
