After 9 years, he is combining the remastered remixes/instrumentals into an 18-track project titled "The Notorious B.I.G. - March 9th, 1997 (A Biggie Tribute)" - dropping May 21, 2022.
In a May 1998 Vanity Fair, Jerry Seinfeld explains his attraction to the number 9:
Jerry Seinfeld loves the number nine. It is significant to him, an auspicious number. He was born in '54 (5+4=9), graduated from high school in '72 (7+2=9), first appeared on The Tonight Show in '81 (8+1=9), and Seinfeld premiered in 1989 (1+9+8+9=27; 2+7=9). His show comes on at 9 p.m., and this, the last season of "Seinfeld," will be the ninth. It will end in 1998, which, again, equals 27, and yes, 2 plus 7 equals 9. "Nine is cool," Seinfeld says gleefully. "By the end, we will have done 180 shows (1+8=9). When I was thinking about quitting the show, I thought, nine. People said, '10 — why not 10?' But 10 is lame. Nine is my number. And then I found out that nine in numerology means completion."
