The Stevie J Years before singer Kelly Price was making noise on 'R&B Divas L.A.' she was making her name as a background singer and writer at Bad Boy Records. “Biggie, first of all, let me say that he’s a once in a generation (artist)…there are people who have come after the Notorious B.I.G and tried to emulate his style and sound, but there will only be one,” she says. In the mid 90s she was asked to sing on the late Notorious B.I.G’s hit Mo Money Mo Problems from his sophomore release Life After Death. In an exclusive interview with Kelly recalls what it was like getting her big break on a classic. The song went on to be Biggie’s second posthumous #1 record after he was tragically murdered weeks before the album’s release.

The Stevie J produced song samples Diana Ross’s hit “I’m Coming Out” but features Kelly singing the hook, “ I don’t know what they want from me, it’s like the more money we come across, the more problems we see.”
