Despite his short career, BIG L released a number of critically acclaimed albums and mixtapes, including “Lifestyle” (1995), “The Big L EP” (1996), and “Furious Angels: The Street Album” (1998). His music continues to be celebrated for its lyrical brilliance, timeless appeal, and cultural significance.
