The limited-edition cars were released ahead of Ice Spice’s debut album, Y2K.

Back in 2022, Brooklyn's own Notorious B.I.G, a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, a.k.a Christopher Wallace was also honored with a special limited edition MetroCard.

Limited edition commemorative Notorious B.I.G a.k.a. Biggie Smalls MetroCard is going on sale on what would have been the late rapper's 50th birthday.

The MTA partnered with Rhino Entertainment then to produce 50,000 commemorative MetroCards featuring B.I.G's portrait on the reverse. The cards went on sale on what would have been the late rap legend's 50th birthday at just four subway stations in central Brooklyn. 

Wallace, who grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, was killed in a shooting in California when he was 24. The two studio albums he recorded during his career — Ready to Die and Life After Death — were hugely successful and extremely influential.
