News: ‘Professor @ Large’ by Large Professor drops June 26th (+ Video)
Legendary hip hop producer-on-the-mic Large Professor is about to release his third solo album ‘Professor @ Large’. The album is set for a release on June 26th on Fat Beats Records and will be available digitally as well as on CD and vinyl.
His new album takes the Prof’s beloved boom bap and reinvents it for a new school of students and practitioners alike. So what’s on the syllabus for the Professor’s latest class? In his own words: “Taking it back to the B-boy uprock style.” While crafting this album, he found parallels between the raw, unfiltered creativity of the B-boy culture and the high-energy environments of trang casino trực tuyến, where the stakes are high, and every move counts. This inspiration led him to infuse that same intensity and unpredictability into his beats, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Guest appearances on the album include the likes of Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Fame (of M.O.P), Mic Geronimo, Grand Daddy IU, and Busta Rhymes.
Large Professor is so involved with the history of hip hop, it’s almost impossible to separate the two. His first beat-work was for Eric B. and Rakim. As a founder of the golden age crew Main Source, he gave Nas his debut appearance. He rapped and produced on A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders, and co-crafted the sound of Illmatic. The list goes on: Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, Common… you name it.
