Large Pro Biography

In this multi-diversified game that we call Hip Hop, there are very few within the culture that can truly be considered a genius at what they do. One Pioneer that has earned such a title is Large Professor. As a teenager growing up in [Flushing] Queens, Extra P quickly became addicted to the music he heard – created on the streets of New York City. He quickly started honing his skills as a DJ, mastering his skills as an MC and dug deep into his mental to create hot beats. Large Pro wasn’t satisfied with just being good, he wanted to become a Hip Hop aficionado of the first order.

While in High School, LP met up with the members of the group Main Source. Also during this time, Large Pro was forming relationships with the likes of Prodigy [Mobb Deep] and DJ Premier [Gang Starr]. Many may not know that DJ Premier actually credits Extra P with showing him how to master the SP-1200 (Hip Hop’s ultimate beat machine). Based on the philosophy of one-hand washes the other, Primo reciprocated, introducing LP to his record collection and brought Main Source to the attention of Wild Pitch Records. The group eventually created the classic album, “Breaking Atoms,” thus cementing Large Professor’s reputation as one of Hip Hip’s foremost producers and innovators.

In 2002, Extra P hit the ground running with the critically acclaimed, “1st Class.” The album featured appearances from Nas, Busta Rhymes, Q-Tip and Akinyele.

Over the years, LP has spent a lot of time working with Hip Hop’s finest along with up and coming Artist’s. He has also been perfecting his DJ skills – Heating up turntables from New York to Germany and beyond. As for this majestic figure we call “The Large Pro,” the best has yet to come.
