Lord Finesse – Keep It Flowing ft. A.G. (Large Professor Remix)

Description

Lord Finesses 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.

Released in 1990 as Lord Finesse & 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 Yorks golden era, revered for its stripped-back grit and technical precision.

In 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 & 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.
