The LP is the debut solo album of American emcee and producer Large Professor. It was released officially in 2009, after being shelved in 1996 by Geffen Records after several delays. "The Mad Scientist" and "I Juswannachill" were released as singles prior to the anticipated release, and a bootleg was circulated.[http://www.discogs.com/release/1035353 Large Professor: The LP] In 2002, Large Professor regained the rights to the recordings and released the album as a promo-only CD.
