12"
Series and Subsequent Compilation Revealed:
When scheduling a series of hip hop 12"es, could there
possibly be a better title for it than “The Matador Hip
Hop 12" Series?” Of course there could, but we’re
a little too late for your second guessing. How about some
of you geniuses out there give us a hand before it’s
too late next time? Here’s how the beginning of this
series breaks down:

More titles to be announced at a later date. We’re planning
on a compilation CD of all of the above, plus more material
sometime in 2001.

No titles yet, but Large Professor is busy mixing and finishing
his first Matador single for release this summer. When we
know more, so will you.

We’re always saying things like “we’re thrilled
to announce an upcoming record by ____” and it isn’t
as though we’ve ever lied in the past. But the thrill
meter just went into the red zone and damn busted into pieces.
Later in 2000, Matador will be releasing a new 12" by Large
Professor, the pioneering MC/producer who earned his legendary
status way back when he was fronting Main Source. Along with
production credits that include early stuff by Gangstarr,
Nas, Eric B & Rakim, Roxanne Shante, Pete Rock & C.L.
Smooth, Chris Lowe and too many others, Large Professor has
been busy with some new solo stuff, including recent live
performances and a great 12" collaboration with Neek The Exotic
(“Rhymemania ’99”) that came out on the Replay
label last fall. He’s also been doing some production
work on the upcoming Non Phixion ‘The Future Is Now’
full length. When we’ve got more details, titles, dates,
etc., we’ll let you know.
