(Large Professor Remix)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLord Finesse’s 1990 debut Funky Technician is a cornerstone of New York hip-hop. This limited 7-inch spotlights the Large Professor Remix of “Keep It Flowing” ft. A.G. — presented for the first time as its own dedicated release, backed by the instrumental making its vinyl debut, and housed in a heavyweight glossy jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1990 as Lord Finesse \u0026amp; DJ Mike Smooth, Funky Technician introduced Lord Finesse to the world as one of the most complete artists to emerge from the Bronx hip-hop scene. A razor-sharp MC, elite DJ, and gifted producer, Finesse arrived fully formed — his debut showcasing a command of flow, timing, and boom-bap construction that few could match. Produced largely by Diamond D, DJ Premier and Showbiz, the album stands today as a cornerstone of New York’s golden era, revered for its stripped-back grit and technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years that followed, Finesse's reputation only grew — his production fingerprints on records by The Notorious B.I.G. and Dr. Dre, and widely credited with bringing Big L into the spotlight; to know Lord Finesse is to understand a significant thread running through the fabric of 90s hip-hop. \"Keep It Flowing\" was a standout from Funky Technician, featuring a then-emerging A.G. in an early connection that predated Showbiz \u0026amp; A.G. as an official group, and when Finesse developed remix work around the album, he brought in Large Professor — who had already delivered something extraordinary on another track from the project — to reimagine it; this 45 is the dedicated home of that remix, backed by the instrumental.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Funky Technician","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57222626378059,"sku":"R6730-0828","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/LordFinesse0784085105811_1.jpg?v=1778013035"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/funky-technician.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
