Legendary producer Large Professor took some time out from working with old friend Neek the Exotic to talk with ForbezDVD. Of course, one of the topics to come up was LP’s association with Nas. Many fans look forward, patiently and less so, to the release of more music from the emcee/production team that first made its mark on tracks from the Queensbridge emcee classic first record, Illmatic. Well the wait may not continue much longer, according to the producer. “That’s already there. We got mad joints in the can,” Large Professor revealed, “It’s a matter of just when we’re going to release them, when we want to drop jewels on them.”
Large Pro and Neek, who first teamed up on “Fakin’ the Funk” two decades ago, are also planning new material. When asked why they reconnected, the Queens born producer was quick to point out that they never lost touch, “We ain’t never disconnect. It’s just all this industry baggage shit…that sucker shit.”
Most recently Large Professor produced a track on Joell Ortiz’s forthcoming album, Free Agent, set for release on February 11, 2011.

True Legend on the boards, Release that NAs ish like yesterday!!!
Large Pro is one of the illest to ever do it!
Oh yea Nas is ayyite too.
For the young guns over here: Check out Large and Neek live at Yo MTV Raps “Fakin the funk” -Neek killed it at that time
bah- bah- bah- ba bah…you fakin the funk, talking that gangsta hoopla YOU PROLLY A PUNK!
Neek the Exotic break backs and necks! Damn, dude disappeared after that song.
Large Pro is one of the best ever to be nice on the mic and boards. Glad they finally released The LP last year. Good album.
Just loving the fact that all my favorite hip-hop producers from back in the day are back in the mix and have current material out…big shouts to Large Pro, Ski Beatz, Premier, and Pete Rock…support these dudes, they exemplify what hip-hop is!!! Peace
Illmatic’s an undisputed seminal hip-hop LP, and I love Halftime and It Ain’t Hard to Tell, but I wasn’t feelin’ One Time 4 Your Mind. It’s the main reason my favourite Extra-P album is Vagina Diner.
Is that recent or old unreleased songs though?
Large Pro needs to drop a whole album with Cormega. The Nas thing won’t happen anywas.
