Meet Keithroy Yearwood. This 18 year-old Bronx-native is the chubby little afro-rocking toddler pictured on the cover of the late Notorious B.I.G.’s classic 1994 album Ready To Die.
In an interview with NY Daily News, the high school senior said that he never thought of his picture as being a big deal, at least not until he was about 8 years old. Yearwood was chosen out of many children to pose for the album while he was signed to Chicky’s Kids, a child modeling agency that is now defunct.
Well it looks like him…Pretty dope!

Don’t nobody care man, wasn’t trying to know who you was boo!

Wow, I thought It was Biggie baby picture.
I always assumed it was Biggie himself on the cover. Learn something new everyday…
It’s kind of wack that the photo wasn’t of Biggie.
I can not believe 1994 was 17 years ago! I was in the 10th grade………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………!

Puffy should meet him and (since he is now a highschool senior) pay his college tutition since he only made $150 on the photoshoot. Great Press for BadBoy and the right thing to do!
