TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 11, 2016) - ARHT Media Inc. (the "Company" or "ARHT") (TSX VENTURE:ART)(OTCQB:ARHTF) is pleased to announce that it has secured the exclusive digital rights to Christopher Wallace, also known as "Notorious B.I.G." The agreement will allow ARHT to create a hologram, or Humagram™, of Notorious B.I.G. for a variety of purposes such as arena appearances, stage shows, concerts and various media campaigns.

Notorious B.I.G. is one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time.

He has sold over 17 million albums in the United States alone. Over the length of his career he has worked with some of the biggest names in music history such as Sean "Puffy" Combs, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes and Faith Evans.

The estate of Notorious B.I.G. is managed by Bystorm Entertainment, in conjunction with Faith Evans, and Voletta Wallace, mother of Notorious B.I.G. Its legal affairs are handled by Julian Petty of Nixon Peabody LLP.

"This project has been a long-time coming, and it is very special to me. Words can't even capture how elated I am for the world to finally see my son again on stage and beyond," said Ms. Wallace. "Christopher's impact and legacy will not only live through his past work, but also the new experiences which have been made possible through ARHT Media."

"After seeing all the technologies out there, I realized right away that ARHT Media would be the best partner to bring back Notorious B.I.G.," Faith Evans states. "I look forward to continue working with them and presenting the world with his Humagram™ in both video and stage format, through the release of my album The King & I."

"The beauty of technology is that it's limitless and ARHT Media's cutting edge platform boldly stands out as truth in that testament," said Wayne Barrow. "I'm proud to be a part of their platform launch with the Late Great Notorious B.I.G.'s Humagram™ as we find creative and innovative ways to continue to enhance his timeless Legacy."
