It's been over a decade since fans have heard new music from Big L, but that's about to change this month.
On Monday, October 6, Mass Appeal and Big L's estate announced the details for the late rapper's fourth posthumous album, Harlem's Finest: Rise of the Forgotten King. The video they posted tells the story of how the Harlem native, born Lamont Coleman, got his coveted 24-karat gold Presidential Rolex. You can see Big L wearing the watch in the official cover for the upcoming album. In the caption, Nas's record label confirmed the release date for the album is October 31.
This will be Big L's fifth album overall. His first posthumous album, The Big Picture, dropped over a year after the artist was gunned down during a drive-by shooting in Harlem. In the years after his death, Big L's estate handled the release of his two other posthumous albums, 139 & Lenox (2010) and The Danger Zone (2011).
