It’s been 13 years since Christopher ‘Notorious B.I.G.’ Wallace has passed away. We usually hear everyone from Diddy to Lil Kim to all the people that dealt with BIG on a business level and friendship level, but rarely do we hear from the woman that knew him before all the glitz and glamour, Jan Jackson […]

Queon came to me a few years ago with the idea of starting a non-for-profit organization titled Hip-Hop TV 24/7. The program helps youth […]
