Song of the Week: Throwback to a Classic – “Work Pt. II” by Big L
One of my favorite old school rappers of all time, Big L, died early in his rap career, but left behind some legendary records. This tune has that classic East Coast, Harlem vibe with a nice mix of piano keys, horns, and subtle vinyl scratches. Big L paints a picture of his life on the blocks of Harlem and speaks of the struggles that a young black male faces in the hood. However, “Work Pt. II” is an upbeat song that showcases the true lyrical abilities of Big L.
