Syracuse band Grateful for Biggie may be the weirdest mashup ever
Scott Mervis, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (TNS) It’s highly unlikely that Jerry Garcia could have told you who Biggie Smalls was, and vice versa. That’s how far removed the late Grateful Dead guitarist and vocalist was from the style of Brooklyn gangsta rap that Biggie Smalls (real name Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G.) epitomized in the 1990s. But a band from Syracuse has found a way to blend the disparate musical franchises.
