1st Class (album)

1st Class is the second full-length album that Large Professor released in 2002. It has a guest appearance from Large Professor's longtime friend Nas as well as Busta Rhymes, Akinyele and Q-Tip. In this album, Q-Tip drops one of the best verse after years. Large Pro delivered a simple boom-bap beat with harmonizing gospel vocals that is turned down real low in the mix that affects a smoothly reflective mood.
