Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous (28/03/1995)

Hoy 28 de marzo de 1995, Big L lanzó su álbum debut, "Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous", a través del sello discográfico Columbia Records. El álbum fue muy bien recibido por la crítica y ha sido aclamado como uno de los mejores álbumes de rap de la década de 1990.

Big L aka The Legendary L fue un rapero estadounidense nacido en Harlem, Nueva York, el 30 de mayo de 1974. Su nombre real era Lamont Coleman. Empezó su carrera en la música a finales de los años 80 y se convirtió en un miembro destacado de la escena Hip Hop underground de Nueva York en los años 90 y parte fundamental del grupo D.I.T.C. (Diggin' In The Crates).

"Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous" presenta la habilidad lírica de Big L y su estilo de rap agresivo y callejero. El álbum cuenta con producciones de artistas como Lord Finesse, Buckwild y Showbiz, y presenta colaboraciones de raperos como Jay-Z, Kid Capri, Grand Daddy I.U., entre otros. Las letras del álbum tratan temas como la vida en las calles, la violencia, el sexo y las drogas.

Desafortunadamente, la carrera de Big L fue truncada cuando fue asesinado a tiros en 1999 en Harlem, a la edad de 24 años. A pesar de su corta carrera, su legado ha influido en muchos artistas de rap posteriores y ha sido considerado como un verdadero icono del hip hop.
