Biggie Smalls' Ghost To Star In A New Cartoon Alongside His Children

Biggie Smalls Ghost is a character in a new TV series, proving there is life after death for the late rapper.

The children of rapper Biggie Smalls will star in an animated series about keeping the hip-hop legend's New York City recording studio up and running.

Ossian Media announced Monday that "House of Wallace" will feature 16-year-old C.J. Wallace and 19-year-old T'yanna Wallace.

Biggie, aka The Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was shot to death in 1997. His character will appear in the show as a ghost to "guide them through the adversities they face" while the children try to keep his Brooklyn recording studio open and save it from a greedy larger company trying to buy it out.

The show has not yet signed with a network, but a representative for Ossian says "a few serious networks are in discussion."

The project is meant to be a tribute to the late Wallace's life. "House of Wallace" will reportedly build on the popular culture inspired by Biggie Smalls' creative talent.

The rapper's children released a statement on Monday about their upcoming project saying, "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. This project, House Of Wallace, is a great opportunity for us to bridge the gap between our parents who loved his music and the kids and young adults our ages, that were not around to really appreciate it."

Aside from Biggie Smalls' ghost, the series will also feature guest appearances from other musical artists.

C.J. and T'yanna will both voice their own characters in the cartoon series. It's unknown who will voice Biggie Smalls' ghost.
