On February 7, 2000, Christopher Rios — the larger-than-life rapper better known as Big Pun — died at the age of 28 from heart failure in White Plains, New York. In a career that barely spanned half a decade, the Bronx-born rapper rewrote the rules for Latin artists in hip hop. With rhymes that were dense, intricate, and delivered with a ferocity that belied his massive physical presence, Pun became the first solo Latino rapper to go platinum, and his debut album Capital Punishment remains a watershed moment in East Coast rap history.
