Good things come to those who wait. But damn it’s hard being patient. Since that famous quote off of Tribe’s Midnight Marauders, fans have been waiting to buy the album when pro dropped it. But despite several singles, leaked internet albums, and beat compilations, we’ve still been holding our duckets waiting for the main event.

Well believe it or not the moment has finally arrived. With the release of Main Source, Large Professor has finally delivered that long promised solo lp. The thing that made Extra P such a prolific artist was his dual hats as a producer and rapper. His flow is far from groundbreaking, it hasn’t changed much if at all since the days of “Lookin at the Front Door”, and his beats also don’t sound like anything new. But that is exactly what makes this album so valuable. It is classic Hip Hop, without the need to be modern or relevant. It’s like finding an album from ‘93 that was never released. It takes you back, but it’s new and fresh at the same time.

Large Pro enlists a little help on the record from classic MC’s from the middle school too. Styles P, AZ, Jeru the Damaja, Lil Dap, and Big Noyd all make guest appearances, making it really feel like an album from the mid 90’s. The only thing missing from this record really were songs featuring Busta and Q-Tip, which at the time the album was initially promised, you couldn’t envision without. But overall the record is chocked full of gems, and if you were ever a fan, you deserve to treat yourself and get a copy.

Extra P is also doing a little touring to support the record, mainly just on the coasts, but for you bay area heads he will be here in SF on 9th of October at  Levende Lounge. The rest of his tour info is listed below, and you can check out his website to get more info on how to cop the record.
