Honoree:  Christopher Lee Rios (1971-2000), better known as Big Pun, was a rapper from the Bronx. His album Capital Punishment reached No. 1 on the hip-R&B charts and was the first Latino solo rapper to go platinum. In his short career, he developed a substantial fan base and became a hero to the Puerto Rican community. When he died, thousands of fans attended his wake in the Bronx and a mural about him was painted on a building in his neighborhood. (Cabrera)
