Say what you want about posthumous collections of previously unreleased material, but THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. is certainly living it up as we approach the nine-year anniversary of his death.

As licensing is the surest way of a musician getting paid nowadays, Biggie's latest entry, courtesy of SEAN COMBS a.k.a. DIDDY, is an in-game music track for Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, to be released next Friday. SERJ TANKIAN of SYSTEM OF A DOWN has taken "Who Shot Ya," itself a posthumous Biggie release on 1999's Born Again, and given it an aggressive makeover, matching the gangsta stance of the lyrics more than Diddy's original production. (The track will also be available on a separate soundtrack CD included with the Limited Edition of the game).

In a BigTakeover.com exclusive, we'll give you a chance to decide for yourself what you think of the remix. Just click the audio player below (if you don't see the player, you'll need to get the Flash plugin for your browser).
