Large Professor's 1st Class is one of the most beloved and sought-after albums of the early 2000s New York underground - a record that never got the wide physical release it deserved. Originally issued in 2002 on Matador Records, the album showcases Extra P at his peak as both an MC and producer, with guest appearances from Nas, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, and Akinyele. For over two decades, original copies have been nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price. That changes now. This first-ever reissue is essential for hip-hop heads and serious collectors alike.
