Black Mafia Life
Black Mafia Life was the second album by
gangsta rap crew
Above the Law, released on
February 2,
1993; being released some time after their popular debut,
Black Mafia Life proved a suprising success. Especially without
Dr. Dre (who had
produced their debut), the album was not widely expected to live up to expectations.
Rolling Stone magazine gave the album 4.5 stars.
