These tracks bring Big L's raw energy and unique flow back to life. There is also an epic ‘7 Minute Freestyle’ featuring Jay-Z, which is still considered one of the best freestyles in hip-hop history.
The album is a salty conclusion to Big L's legacy and proves that his influence on the hip-hop scene is still strong. With contributions from other legendary artists such as Lord Finesse, Mac Miller and Joey Bada$$, this album is a tribute to the rich history of East Coast hip-hop.
