Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tragically released posthumously following his unsolved murder, this album features tracks Big L had completed for his highly anticipated major-label debut alongside guest verses recorded in tribute. 'The Big Picture' captures the Harlem legend's unmatched, rapid-fire punchline ability and terrifyingly vivid street narratives over stellar boom-bap production.
