@sancriradioshow 📸 : Uncovered: Big L’s photoshoot for his debut album ‘Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous’ captured by Danny Clinch (1993). The photos were taken in his neighborhood on a stoop in Harlem, New York and it’s reminiscent in a way of the famous ‘A Great Day in Harlem’ photograph by Art Kane that showed 57 jazz artists gathered on a stoop as well. However, this cover is a more personal frame that shows a blurred crowd surrounding Big L that represents the community he grew up in with a contrast to his calm and composed demeanor. 🎞️🗽 Rest In Peace @bigl_139 👑🐐🕊 - Mr. @raimonluna ✍️🏿
