Hip Hop icon and one of the genre’s most distinctive voices, Big L returns with Harlem's Finest: Return Of The King, the latest release in Mass Appeal's 'Legend Has It...' series.
Features guest appearances from Nas, JAY Z, Mac Miller, Joey Bada$$, Method Man and more
The album is intended to both preserve and elevate Big L’s legacy as one of hip-hop’s most gifted lyricists and is the result of Mass Appeal, Nas and the rapper’s family and estate all working together to ensure its completion. The artist’s family wrote: “Big L has a long history with Nas as they both signed to Columbia in 1992. This is a full circle moment and we are excited for y’all to hear what we’ve been working on. As some of you may have noticed, many Big L songs have been removed from streaming services over the past few years. Those songs were unmixed/unmastered, samples were not cleared and many of the producers weren’t paid or credited properly. Thanks to the team at Mass Appeal we will be re-releasing the best versions of these songs, rare freestyles and a few surprises...”
