His first professional appearance came on Lord Finesse's "Yes You May (Remix)". He released his debut album, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous in 1995, and significantly contributed to the underground hip hop scene. He created his own independent label, Flamboyant Entertainment, in 1998 where he released one of his best known singles "Ebonics" (1998).On February 15, 1999, Coleman was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in his native Harlem. His second studio album, The Big Picture, was put together by Coleman's manager, Rich King. It was released the following year and certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Four posthumous albums have been released, mainly consisting of unreleased songs which were put together by Rich King and his brother, Donald.

[...] It was a little problem like I just said, "divide and conqueror" with the fellas between all of us, and, uh, [Lee] went upstate, then I went upstate, and then [Lee] sent word to do something [to someone]. He sent word to somebody else to do something, but Lamont went with him, which Lamont shouldn't have went with him. [...] It didn't go down the way it was supposed to have went down and they seen Lamont face. [...] So, uh, both of us is gone, and [Lamont] was out here by hisself. And so you can't get one brother, you get the other one. That's it in a nutshell.".
