Today’s Freebie Friday comes to you by way of the good folks at Gold Dust. This sampler, mixed by the legendary Large Professor, marks Gold Dust’s new set of releases. As you know, Large Pro has a new album, Main Source, scheduled for September.
Hit up the download link for a taste of Gold Dust, including bangers from Zion I, Outlawz, and, of course, the one and only Large Pro. (more…)
Being a sucka for 90s hip-hop and the brains behind the music means that Large Pro is on my shortlist of favorite producer-MCs by default. I’m excited to see Extra-P back in action with a new album, Main Source, slated for September 30th. Main Source as you probably guessed is the name of P’s NY rap group that folded up after a slew of hits.
Main Source the album looks to further P’s legacy as an intelligent sound architect. A producer’s producer. P’s rhymes won’t exactly overwork your rewind button, but they work to complement the production perfectly, yielding a thoroughly cohesive body of work. The beats here are as clean and polished as anything Pro has done in the past couple decades. You know you’re good when DJ Premier is giving you credit for teaching him a few production tricks.
Hit up the Main Source swag bag below.
