Category: Big L

The essence of hip-hop has long been measured by the lyrical prowess and street-savvy intellect of its gladiators. Enter Big L, Harlem’s own maestro of metaphor, whose track ‘MVP’ remains a testament to hip-hop’s golden age. A song that not only exhibits the raw and unblemished lyricism but also encapsulates the self-assured swagger of the rap game’s elite.

Against the pulsating beat and the smooth, though gritty production of Kid Capri, one of hip hop’s most deft lyricists lays down a track that’s as much an anthem as it is a declaration of individual prowess. In ‘Put It On,’ Big L crafts a lyrical masterpiece that serves as a snapshot of the rough-and-tumble Harlem streets from which he surfaced. This is not just a song; it’s an ode to the raw talent and stark reality of the 90s rap scene.
