Check out this new photo of Jamal Woolard (Biggie) and Antonique Smith (Faith Evans) from the Notorious Biopic in the new issue of VIBE magazine. The new issue hits newsstands today. As part of Vibe’s 15th anniversary issue the fashion spread features stars from the film, including Jamal “Gravy” Woolard [Biggie], Derek Luke [Sean Combs], Angela Bassett [Voletta Wallace], Antonique Smith [Faith Evans], and Naturi Naughton [Lil Kim].The spread, styled by veteran Fashion Director Memsor Kamarake, also includes Biggie’s real-life family and friends Faith Evans, their son Christopher “CJ” Wallace, and his mom and film producer Voletta Wallace, and members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. The movie is about the late rap legend rising from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip-hop artists of all time.

Faith Evans, multi-platinum selling singer and widow of the Notorious B.I.G., is set to release a “tell all” book, titled Keep the Faith: A Memoir, on August 29th.
Revealed earlier this year, the book which is to detail the highs and lows of the R&B singer’s life is also set to shed light on Evans’ controversial relationship with The Notorious B.I.G.
This is what Evans said about her upcoming book release:
It’s been over ten years since Big was killed. I grieved for him for a very long time. And then, as time passed, the icy wall of grief surrounding my heart began to thaw and I began to heal. I remarried, had more children, and continued to record and release more music. I continued to live my life. And while I can never discount the time I spent with Big, I’ve never felt the need to live in the past. But sometimes, I still find myself thinking about Big being rushed the hospital, and I break down in tears.

With the press release sent out last week announcing the main casting for 'Notorious', the story of Christopher 'Biggie Smalls' Wallace, it wasn't specified who would be playing the parts of Lil'Kim, Faith Evans, and Jan, who was Biggie Smalls' long-term partner and the mother of his first child.

Here is the new single from Faith, produced by the Neptunes, called “Maybe”.
