The Notorious B.I.G. will be coming soon to our television screens as Ossian Media has announced a new animated series featuring titled “House Of Wallace.” The show is set to feature the late emcee’s two children C.J. and T’yanna Wallace as the shows premise will follow their dramatic journey and everyday struggle in Brooklyn as their animated father attempts to keep his music studio open in his neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Facing a hostile corporate takeover, C.J. and T’yanna are guided to invent a novel approach to creating alternative revenue streams – re-imagining their Dad’s studio as a ‘jingle house by day’, where some of the world’s greatest talents lend their voices and abilities to some of the world’s best-known brand names. By night they return to the studio to work on their own musical projects, all while being inspired by the association with Biggie’s studio sound. “Come to cut a multi-platinum new album, stay to record a hit commercial!” is the phrase they like to employ as a means of enticing these artists to participate in their fledgling jingle ‘side business’.
“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”..Says, T’yanna and CJ Wallace.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks (or months) for more news regarding the show as right now it doesn’t have an official network; but we’re hopeful it’ll land on Adult Swim.
