In 2010, over a decade after the murder of Harlem legend Big L, his manager Rich King and his brother Donald Phinazee decided to release their own respective posthumous compilations of rare and unreleased material. Three months after King released 139 & Lenox through L’s label Flamboyant Entertainment, Phinazee and L’s family released Return of the Devil’s Son on November 23, 2010 through SMC Recordings. The album was released on CD, vinyl, and was uploaded to streaming services but eventually taken down. Although advertised as unreleased material, Return of the Devil’s Son consists mostly of freestyles and tracks that have already been released one way or another. To make matters confusing, every track was re-named on this release.
