Put It On comes from Big L's debut album Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous, released in 1995, and helped establish the Harlem rapper as one of New York's sharpest lyricists of the era. The track's confident, rapid-fire verses became a favourite among underground hip-hop fans, who quoted its lines and shared them in lyric videos, edits and soundboards long after its release. After Big L's death in 1999, interest in his catalogue grew further, and the song remains a touchstone for fans of 1990s East Coast rap and intricate, punchline-driven wordplay.

This clip captures Big L rapping a hard-hitting verse from Put It On, delivered with the rapid, punchy flow that made him a Harlem underground legend. His voice cuts through a stripped-back, boom-bap beat with crisp drums and a looping sample, keeping the focus squarely on wordplay, internal rhymes and streetwise confidence. The bars land quickly and aggressively, building a swaggering, almost confrontational energy that feels both playful and threatening. Listeners instantly recognise the cadence and attitude, making it feel like a highlight reel of pure lyricism rather than just a song excerpt.
