Neek the Exotic & Large Professor are continuing to roll out more goodies as the anticipation builds for their forthcoming full-length album, Still On The Hustle, dropping May 17th on Fat Beats Records. Following a video of the two speaking on the album last week, the two hip-hop vets, who came up together in Queens, New York, are releasing this behind the scene's look at the making of their recently released music video for "Still On The Hustle." Aside from giving fans a closer look at the video shoot, and continuing to let fans in on new info about the album, the video sheds a lot of light on the duo's connection to their Flushing, Queens neighborhood, which served as the shoot location for the music video. As Mark Carranceja, director of the video and part of Noisemaker Media, recalled, "Every time we walked around, every block, Neek new somebody...He knew about 20 people in 5 minutes and I feel like that kind of connection to the public is really important to show to people."

Background:
Though their career paths have always intertwined, Neek the Exotic and Large Professor’s Still on the Hustle marks the first true collaboration in both legends’ long, eclectic oeuvre. Large Professor earned his place in the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights by founding Main Source and producing songs for Nas' Illmatic and Kool G Rap's Wanted Dead or Alive. It wasn't until he joined forces with Neek on 1992's White Men Can't Jump soundtrack that both artists were launched into the global spotlight. The remainder of the 90's and 2000's saw the two producer/MC's cementing their legacy in collaborations with equally big name artists, such as Pete Rock, Busta Rhymes, The X-Ecutioners, and Mobb Deep. Still on the Hustle, a culmination of ten years in utero, stands testament to the rich history, personal battles, and against-all-odds accomplishments that mark both mens' road to recording this soon-to-be classic album.
