Big Pun’s posthumous Bronx Legends Never Die EP is slated for release on December 23 on executive producer Domingo’s Deranged Music.
The EP is set to include a re-recording of the song “The Bigger They R,” with production from Domingo and verses from Cormega and Chris Rivers.
In the build up to the EP’s release date, Deranged Music has set up a limited pre-order campaign on crowdfund site IndieGoGo. There are 100 editions available for pre-order.
With the blessing of the Rios family, Bronx Legends Never Die will be the first official Big Pun project since 2000’s posthumously-released Yeeeah Baby.
Big Pun died of a heart attack in 2000.

I wish they weren’t doing this. Posthumous rap albums aren’t generally good unless the album was complete, but not yet released at the time of death. These bullshit, throw a bunch of remixes on an album are a greedy ass cash grab. See Biggie: Duets, or the plethora of Pac albums released over the past 20 years.
i agree its usually bullshit..but mainly who they get to feature.. usually put all these bullshit people on the hooks..if its just straight pun music and new verses im good
if its 20 singers and 100 rappers like duets or pacs albums im all set on that.
The track listing is on the internet and it is all Pun songs with Chris Rivers, Cormega, Krs, Kool G Rap, Shaq, Easy Mo Bee… NO R&B on it Just Hip Hop…. I get what your saying tho… I am definitely copping this!!
i thought the last Big Pun project was Endangered Species way back in 2001. was not that considered ‘official’?
too late for this shit. Who the fuck’s tryna hear a big pun album in 2014 smh
and LMAO @ Shaq being on this shit
why yo pussy ass had to hide ya name? go listen to your ilovemcdonalds “goin up on a tuesday” bullshit. FOH here with that. Fuckin fag.
When a rapper dies people should stop releasing their shit. If an artist was in the middle of making an album when they died I can understand putting it out. Releasing something that an artist worked on and believed in is different from making money off of their name.
We don’t even hear most of the songs our favourite artists make, because they never released them or even intended to release them. The stuff they put out is the stuff they put the most effort into, the stuff that they brought up to a certain quality. But when they die people feel the need to release every track, regardless of the quality. Regardless of the creators intents.
Let the dead rest.
we would’ve never got changes with that attitude
Changes wasn’t even original two verses from different records put on one track
Even so, that’s just one song, finding one that’s good doesn’t prove that the majority aren’t. Even if the majority was good I’d rather it didn’t come out instead of people releasing shit that the original artist may not have wanted to.
big pun is a legend! Haters shut the fuck up.
love BIG PUN for that ‘DRAMACIDE’ ting alongside KOOL G. RAP, alone.
Big Pun is in top-5 best lyricist of all-time. This album better have Fat Joe on it otherwise it would be disappointing.
