[HIP HOP] Any in-the-know hip hop fan would rank New York City-based OG hip hop producer Large Professor among the most important early 1990s hip hop producers. His production work on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Keep it Rollin,” from their 1993 album Midnight Marauders with its dubby upright bass and rattleclaps add a shadowy, atmospheric, and grooving style to an album that permeated hip hop for years afterward. The next year, in 1994, he contributed four tracks to Nas’ seminal album, Illmatic, alongside producers like Pete Rock, Q-Tip, and DJ Premier. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Large Professor is one of the most influential hip hop producers of all time. The legendary producer and turntablist returns to Buffalo for a special show at Duke’s Bohemian Grove Bar this Friday, December 8 with support from DJ Milk and Neek the Exotic.
