The tracklist comes two weeks after Big L's estate and Mass Appeal shared the first single from the album, "u aint gotta chance" featuring Nas. Harlem's Finest: Return of the King will be Big L's fifth album overall. His first posthumous album, The Big Picture, dropped over a year after the artist was gunned down during a drive-by shooting in Harlem. In the years after his death, Big L's estate handled the release of his two other posthumous albums, 139 & Lenox (2010) and The Danger Zone (2011).

Big L's album is the fifth installment of Mass Appeal's 'Legend Has It' series. It follows other albums from Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Slick Rick, and Mobb Deep. There are two more albums that are still on the way. De La Soul's 10th studio album Cabin In The Sky, which is a tribute to their fallen member Trugoy The Dove, is set to arrive in November. Meanwhile, Nas & DJ PREMIER will close out the series with their long-awaited joint album in December.
