A Lil' Light is a studio album by American rapper Dudley Perkins. It was released via Stones Throw Records on July 15, 2003. The album is entirely produced by Madlib.
Eric K. Arnold of East Bay Express gave the album a favorable review, saying: "Producer Madlib's touch is evident in the album's schizophrenic mix of voices, weird arrangements, and esoteric musical elements, but there's no denying the emotional quotient that's missing from above-ground rap is alive and well here." David Morris of PopMatters said: "Aside from how enjoyable it is in and of itself, A Lil' Light also opens up new possibilities for R&B, brushing off both the pure gloss of the mainstream and the predictable over-emoting of neo-soul in favor of something more bracingly real."
