The Virus is the fourth studio album by American rapper Brotha Lynch Hung, released through Black Market Records on November 13, 2001. The Virus is the follow-up to EBK4. This album was rumored to have been released without the consent of Lynch, much like its predecessor, due to ongoing disputes with Black Market Records.[1] It was Lynch's final studio album released through Black Market Records, although there would be several subsequent compilations released on the label.
