We want you to record yourself talking about what the Notorious B.I.G. meant to you.

On Friday 9 March it will be 10 years since the passing of the Notorious B.I.G and 1Xtra will remember and celebrate the life of one the most influential icons in music by dedicating the day to him.

We’d like to hear what the big man meant to you...
:: Did his music inspire you, if so how?
:: Why do you think he’s considered one of the greatest of all time?
:: Do you have a favourite track?

Once you've created your voice message we will then post them right here!

Interested? Go to this page (outside the BBC), record your message and keep checking back to see/hear it on the site.

Alternatively you can send an MP3 audio file of your thoughts to [email protected]

A couple of pointers when doing your audio clip:
1. No swearing... or it won't go on the site
2. No music... or it won't go on to the site
3. No samples
4. Nothing offensive (racist, homophobic etc)

You will need a computer with a microphone.

What are you waiting for?
