    Being born and raised in Brooklyn, I wanted it to feel as close to the Brooklyn that helped raise me. The hyperrealism is authentic to that experience. As we expand, we will use that same authenticity in other cities, said Pitts.

    Technology continues to create opportunities that are beyond ones imagination and Im excited that we are stepping into the future with a beautiful rendition of a hyperrealistic avatar of my son Christopher and Im thankful for our wonderful team of creative partners for their work to deliver Biggie into new media for his fans to enjoy, said Biggies mother Voletta Wallace.
