EBK4 is the third studio album by American rapper Brotha Lynch Hung, released through Black Market Records on June 27, 2000, as a follow-up to 1997's Loaded. Some of the songs on the album were not completed (did not have all the verses recorded, etc.) in time for the release date. Due to disputes with the record label over this and other issues, Black Market released the album without the consent of Brotha Lynch Hung, featuring other artists off the label to complete unfinished songs where extra verses were needed. Lynch has mentioned that prior to the album’s release, a home invasion took place during which the thieves had taken songs still in progress, most of which appear on this album.
