If you didn't know, Big L was an American rapper who was shot and killed in February 1999, before releasing his second album. Big L had a huge influence on the New York Hip-Hop scene through the 1990's and was down with Cam'Ron and Mase, and even Jay-Z, before they all made it big.
Below, Big L performing "Put It On", one of the singles from his first album "Lifestyles Ov Da Poor & Dangerous".
Another small taste of what Big L was about, from a 1998 freestyle;
"I got more riches than you, fuck more bitches than you/ Only thing I haven’t got, is more stitches than you/ Fuckin punk, you ain’t a leader, what? Nobody followed you/ You was never shit, your mother shoulda swallowed you".
Best believe you buyin that CD when it comes out in November.
