About this listen

 Episode three of BIG L Biography Forever examines the tragedy of Big L's murder on February fifteenth, nineteen ninety-nine. Shot nine times on One Hundred Thirty-ninth Street in Harlem at age twenty-four, Big L's death shocked the hip-hop community. The episode explores the circumstances surrounding his killing, theories about his brother Donald Phinazee's involvement in street business possibly leading to the murder, and the fact that the case remains officially unsolved. It covers what was lost with only one studio album released during his lifetime, the immediate aftermath in the hip-hop community mourning a genius cut short, how his family kept his memory alive, and the posthumous release "The Big Picture" in two thousand that introduced his work to new audiences.
