Today Diddy will perform for the first time in Brooklyn to commemorate the life and legacy of the Notorious B.i.G.

The Bad Boy CEO spoke to MTV recently to explain the importance of this day. "I'm going to Brooklyn. It's gonna be the first time I'm throwing a party in Brooklyn. I'm from Harlem. Everybody in Harlem knows you don't usually go over the bridge to Brooklyn. It's a big, big deal. Me being such a Harlemite, I'm going over there to pay respect to my man. It's gonna be a big party in Brooklyn with Mister Cee. It's a big day. It's a day to celebrate his life. It's a day to celebrate the life of the man. We done did the movie, the records. It's something that, I guess, as a label we're obsessed with: making sure people don't forget about this man in a positive way. March 9 is Biggie Day. ...Bump Biggie all day, feel good and positive."

Diddy and Dirty Money will be performing at The Lab Banquet Hall and Big's DJ, Hot 97's Mister Cee will be on the 1's and 2's.

Though Biggie passed away 13 years ago today his legend will live on forever.
