Large Professor
Large Professor (LP) is a Hip Hop songwriter, producer, and DJ hailing from Flushing, Queens, NY. As head of ‘90s rap group Main Source, LP quickly took the airwaves by storm with conceptual songs and creative sampling techniques. As a “Hip Hopper from Birth,” LP blended the rawness of early B-Boy sounds with Jazz, Folk & Blues, creating a unique style that everyone loves. As a producer, he has worked beside some of the best lyricists in the game, and is the mastermind behind the song “Live At The Barbecue,” which introduced the world to Nas. A record collector since the early ‘80s, LP’s music knowledge is vast, garnering his DJ sets high praise from peers and fans alike. His involvement in numerous certified gold and platinum albums, movie soundtracks, and television shows makes LP an “Official Hip Hop Music Aficionado.”
Marley Marl
Famous for representing the rap Mecca known as Queensbridge, and for introducing hip hop producers to the innovative craft of sampling, Marley Marl, born Marlon Williams, appeared at the forefront of many of hip hop’s most important moments and movements. He rocked alongside Mr. Magic on “Rap Attack,” co-founded the legendary Juice Crew, battled KRS-One and BDP in the infamous Bridge Wars, produced LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out,” broke new talent on Future Flavas, and even inspired the late great Notorious BIG – to name a few. Marley’s discography is extensive, with classics including “Around the Way Girl,” “Eric B For President,” “Nobody Beats the Biz,” and “The Symphony,” among hundreds of other trendsetting compositions. Marley Marl has received numerous awards for his chart successes, including a 1992 GRAMMY Award for LL Cool J’s Best Solo Rap Performance. He has also been recognized as a living legend in hip hop, receiving the Legendary DJ Award at the 2013 Global Spin Awards. Marley Marl can be heard on New York’s mega station WBLS 107.5 FM, every Friday night between 8pm to 10pm.
George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic
Recording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B during the ’70s, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several late ’60s acid heroes: Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone. The Parliament/Funkadelic machine ruled black music during the ’70s, capturing over 40 R&B hit singles (including three number ones) and recording three platinum albums. Clinton and many former Parliament/Funkadelic members continued to tour and record throughout the ’80s as the P-Funk All Stars, but the decade’s disdain of everything to do with the ’70s – especially the sound of disco – resulted in critical and commercial neglect for the world’s biggest funk band, one which in part had spawned dance music. The early ’90s saw the rise of funk-inspired rap which re-established the status of Clinton & Co. as one of the most important forces in the recent history of black music. Parliament/Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
