R&B veteran Faith Evans have announced plans to put out a new joint album with music from her late ex-husband and rap great Notorious B.I.G.
According to Faith, the project will feature unheard music from the late Bad Boy Records icon.
“I’m about to start working on a very, very special musical project with me and Big,” Faith revealed in an interview. “I’ve just had time and have been thinking about it for a minute. I finally got all my ducks in a row to make it happen. It is definitely unheard music. Unheard music in the presentation of it. That’s what I will say. Think Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole.” (Hip Hollywood)

Earlier this year, Faith and Bad Boy Records CEO Diddy paid homage to B.I.G. during a Los Angeles performance.
Faith Evans brought along some old friends during her show at the House of Blues in L.A. on Wednesday. Following an opening set from Kelly Price, the R&B diva was joined onstage by Diddy, who helped her pay tribute to her late husband, the Notorious B.I.G., with their classic “I’ll Be Missing You.” “Thanks to my bro @iamdiddy for coming out to rock the stage w/me & @1500orNOTHIN 2nite!” tweeted Faith. During her appearance on “Bethenny,” Faith spoke about her relationship with her former Bad Boy boss. “We keep in touch. He sends my kids Christmas gifts every year,” she said. (Rap-Up)
Faith appeared on television personality Arsenio Hall‘s talk show last year and spoke on B.I.G.’s murder case.
“We just basically stopped spending our money on trying to hope that the LAPD was gonna do, you know, their part. You know what I’m saying? It’s not closed. It’s just a matter of when they really feel like they wanna do the right thing ’cause we in our hearts kinda feel like we know what happened and we believe that they know what happened. You know, we’ll probably be the biggest case in the city’s history.” (“Arsenio”)
Evans also suggested the financial repercussion may likely have contributed to the LAPD’s lack of progress.
“So I’m sure – they don’t feel good about having to write a check that big. But for us, it’s not about that. We spend millions of dollars on lawyers fees, we’ve never gotten anything from it. It’s more about trying to do what’s right – for his family and his loved ones and his kids, you know. We definitely had gotten to a point where we realized that they may not ever happen and that’s really sad.” (“Arsenio”)
Now? It’s been like 2 decades. Guess she had nothing else to do since this clearly was never a priority of hers
I THINK RAISING HER KIDS INCLUDING LIL BIG WAS A BETTER PRIORITY!!!!
It’s not like she been on hiatus. She has put out mad albums since B.I.G. died. It’s a money grab if you ask me. They need to leave B.I.G. alone and let him rest.
I never said she hasn’t made any $$$ or wasn’t putting out albums. As his wife & the Co executor of his estate, I see no problem with this. His kids & Mom will benefit & if it turns out dope that’s even better.
What’s the odds of it being dope???? That’s my point. From what I understand the kids are well taken care of. Yeah she raised his son. Cool. I just don’t think this album is a good idea. Especially now. I’m about B.I.G.’s musical legacy. They have already came out with 2-3 albums too many. I’m not big on posthumous albums. The deceased artist has no input. In B.I.G and Pac’s case I think they are overdoing it.
Big got sprung by this chic and wife’th her eight days later…this is clear case of sucker for love syndrome…if she really have some unreleased gems on deck then I welcome it…
So his judgement of women wasn’t the greatest. I don’t care about that s*it. lol. All I care about is if the music is good. I guarantee it will be verses you heard before or stuff from Mister Cee that’s outdated. Whatever tho……
The smart money say you might be right, although I’m interested to see how she gonna flip this so called duet format together.
It will suck. lol. Personally i’m tired of the B.I.G. and Pac posthumous albums. Let the homies rest in piece.

Absolutely, it all went downhill after 1998 (aside from until the end of time and better dayz).
I didn’t really like none of them because for the most part it was rhymes I heard before.
Absolutely, although until the end of time and better dayz were the only good ones.
Those shits were corny to me. I remember some of the original tracks and they were way better.
that’s your opinion, but I Believe they were good ones, it was the next one after those two were really bad, it’s called loyal to the game that was the worst one ever made.
To each his own. Personally I liked Tupac more during his Me Against The World days. That’s just me.
Loyal to the game was just truly dreadful and it was the downward spiral of the late tupac’s legacy.
Maybe so. I think they should of left it alone after R U Still Down but that’s just me……..
That would make sense, if she wasn’t working on her solo career all these years. So that point is moot. She’s recorded 5+ albums, had 4 tours, and has also starred in movies. Try again.
Great points my brother. She has obviously did her own thing and now that she has no buzz she wants to come out with a B.I.G. album. It’s so obvious. Not to sound harsh but that’s what it is.
She’s obviously reaching. smh.

No more B.I.G. projects!!!! You’re ruining his legacy you greedy f**ks. smh.
Got that right, let the man rest in peace.
That’s all i’m saying. That goes for Pac too. The only posthumous album i’m kinda interested in hearing is another Gangstarr album.
props for fat joe for refusing to do anymore of pun’s posthumous albums after endangered species (except for two unreleased songs).
Endangered Species was tastefully done. I liked it.
and I Didn’t, it was so corny.
We disagree. It had Firewater, Whatcha Gonna do, the original Dream Shatterer, Off The Books. Whatever tho. I got my taste you got yours.
Because it doesn’t have the same charm anymore as the original capital punishment, which was in both of our opinions, one of the best albums ever made.
I mean you can’t compare it to Capital Punishment because ES wasn’t a album that Pun worked on himself. It was a greatest hits album (Twinz) mixed with a some unreleased joints (Mamma) and his best guest appearances (Off The Books). I mean I liked it but to each his own.
I Don’t think so, let them rest in peace period, it’s all about $$$$
I think Gangstarr could work because at least it will be Guru verses we never heard. At least that’s what I think. I know Gangstarr has alot of unreleased stuff. I don’t mind one posthumous album from a artist but when it gets to 4 and 5 and in some cases 6 or 7 that’s ridiculous to me.
Let them rest period, I Am tired of posthumous albums being released again and again and again, let them rest.
Like I said we disagree on Gangstarr. Tupac and B.I.G. yes.
