The Brooklyn rap emcee, who died in 1997, has often been lauded as one of the best rappers in hip-hop history, which also made him a fan favorite this year. Once inducted he will be only the second solo rapper to ever be entered into the Hall of Fame after Tupac Shakur landed a spot back in 2017.

In addition to Biggie, rounding out the class of 2020 are other music heavyweights such as: Whitney Houston, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, the Doobie Brothers, and T. Rex.

This year’s induction ceremony will take place on May 2 and be broadcast live on HBO at 8 p.m. EST. The line up of performances and special guests has yet to be announced.
