Lord Finesse stated in a recent interview that new Big L material is in the works. The material includes remixes, unreleased, and new tracks. Below is an excerpt from the interview:

Interviewer: You told us that you re working on a new Big L album. Will this album be unreleased songs, a compilation of early 12-inches or a bunch of recycled verses set to new beats?

Lord Finesse: Let me tell you right now, I got a song with Sheek from The Lox, and Big L, it ain't t even titled yet! Shit is crazy, it's bananas, this is some shit you know? The hook right now, I got another rapper working on the hook; if he does the hook this it'll be an incredibly big song for L. It'll be a street anthem; the people will love it, the beat is crazy, its real street. It ain't underground, it falls in the gray area. It should be coming out on the new Soundbombing project in like February. Now as far as this Big L album, its like I'm one of the key Executive Producers as far as when it comes to the Big L estate. There's three of us, you got Big L's mom, the lawyer and you got me. Anything that comes out in the future from Big L, it has to pass under my nose, I get to really stamp everything you know. I'm honored that she gave me a part of it; I should've been doing it, it was given to me when he first passed but I wasn't mentally there when he passed away, to do it and be strong enough to go put this out. I wasn't thinking of putting this Big L album out, I was still in shock, though from when he got killed you know? To this day sometimes when I hear his voice, when I hear old records it just bugs me out, it just reminds of just the days when we was together hangin' out and buggin' out, you know? It s like I still can't believe he's gone sometimes. So I want to do an album, it's called Real Legends Don't Die. What I'm trying to do is compose two albums, one album is the best of all his greatest stuff from Devil's Son, MVP, Street Struck --he's got songs that were never released. I did Unexpected Flavor, School Days, me and Buck did Times Is Hard On The Boulevard and Shoulda Wore A Rubber, I think Buck did that. And those songs exist, and then you put all of his stuff that people can't find on one CD. O.C. and Big L Dangerous, all the hot shit he did, Ebonics and then you do another album, with a few songs that are remixed; Times Is Hard and the song with Sheek and a remix to Shoulda Wore A Rubber and a lot of songs you could put people on, the remix of songs like The Enemy, it's so much stuff that's there. Then we got reels of some other stuff, that wasn t released yet, I'm supposed to get my hands on and then there s a DVD probably following that album.

Interviewer: Any plans of releasing the Big L tribute concert on DVD?

Lord Finesse: I have it here, and it'll be part of the DVD series, between the Big L DVD and my DVD coming out called The Underboss, and its like with the Big L DVD it's hard because there's footage out there, but it's not a lot you know? Footage from Japan, how we're trying to track the footage from when he performed at the Apollo in 92, when I first brought L out at the Apollo, there's footage out there that's crazy! I got footage from when my first real public show, when I performed with K-Solo and Redman was DJing for him you know? That s classic shit and its crazy and as far as myself I got about a good 10, 12 hours of footage. I might be overseas, me in Japan, in Germany, me in Switzerland, and Denmark and I m all over the place. When I was deejaying for Show & A.G., when I was in DJ competitions, when I took Roc Raida on the road; me and Raida used to battle each other on the turntables, my footage is relentless, all the BET footage, the MTV footage--its crazy how much I got...I got enough for like 3 DVD's.
