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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Double LP Includes an exclusive limited 7-inch of \"Stay Chisel\" featuring Nas (vocal \/ instrumental), housed inside the jacket and never previously available on wax!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available on CD and limited edition yellow shell cassette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Intro\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. 'Bout That Time\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Ultimate\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Stay Chisel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Stay Chisel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Akinyele\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. In The Sun\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Born To Ball\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Stay Chisel (Instrumental)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Kool\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Large Pro\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Alive In Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Blaze Rhymez II\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. On\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Hip Hop\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Radioactive\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 784085106085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Rise Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.7.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matador (OLE 509-1)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Intro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 'Bout That Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Ultimate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Brand New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Stay Chisel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Akinyele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 In The Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Born To Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1 Kool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2 The Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC3 Large Pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC4 Alive In Stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD1 Blaze Rhymez II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD3 Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD4 Radioactive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ-Love – A\u0026amp;R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenneth \"Ranzey\" Johnson – A\u0026amp;R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark Ohe – Art Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenneth \"Ranzey\" Johnson – Executive-Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Cruz – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoger Seibel – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Vargas – Mixed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePablo Puente – Mixed By, Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatthew Salacuse – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHill, Inc – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ-Love – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Professor – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXplicit – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkinyele Adams – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJason Elias – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKamaal Fareed – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNasir Jones – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Raic – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTommie Spearman – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrevor Smith (4) – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam Paul Mitchell – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54549801402686,"sku":"253126703","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633534923070-transparent-v2.png?v=1791440160","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/large-professor-1st-class-2-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
