In 2017, Jeffries paid tribute to Christopher Wallace — the Brooklyn-born rapper best known as the Notorious B.I.G. — on the House floor.
The congressman began by rapping the lyrics to the classic 1994 song "Juicy":
"It was all a dream / I used to read Word Up magazine/ Salt-N-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine / Hangin' pictures on my wall / Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl."
As a public official, Jeffries has long showcased his Brooklyn pride.
