"Put It On" is a song by the American rapper Big L featuring American DJ Kid Capri. The song was produced by Buckwild for Big L's debut studio album, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous (1995). The song was written by Big L, Kid Capri and Buckwild. The song was released on November 13, 1994 as the first single from the album through Columbia Records and Sony Music.

In an interview with HipHopDX, Lord Finesse described "Put It On":

[Columbia Records] wanted something with a hook that would be kinda catchy, and something they could get radio play with. Like, everything [L] did was dark, and it was gangsta, and it was…what was the [popular style at the time]? Horror-core. So they needed something bright, something friendly. And "Put It On" just matched everything perfect… "Put it on", the slang…was like… "do your thing". "Put it on, Big L, put it on…" [meaning] you gotta do your thing, you gotta represent.[1]

It was also sampled in dubstep producer Datsik's song "Firepower".
