Street Struck-Big L

Back in February of 1999, Lamont Coleman, or Big L, died in Harlem after being shot nine times in the face and chest. Big L was twenty-four when he was killed and released one album while he was alive (Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous) and his second, and final, album was released after his death (The Big Picture). 

The kid hardly got to live, but he spoke some wise words. He was straight up honest about his past in dealing drugs but he was one to knock sense into kids who were heading in the wrong direction. His first album, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous was released in March of 1995 by Columbia Records.
