lord finesse - from the crates to the files

[OpTiCaL]

This CD consists of tracks from the 1992 release "Return Of The  
            Funkyman" and tracks that have been floating around for a while  
            but never got properly released. The album includes production by
            Showbiz, Diamond D, Large Professor, Todd Ray, and Lord FInesse  
            himself.

            The Funky Technician Lord Finesse returns with the lost classic
            From The Crates To The Files: The Lost Sessions. Rumored to exist
            but never having seen the light of day 'til now, many of the cuts
            have been traded on the Internet and mix tapes for years. When
            Fat Beats approached Lord Finesse about a proper release he went
            back into the studio the complete the album adding a number of
            songs including a new joint with friend Fat Joe.

            Breaking out of the hardcore New York rap scene and developing a
            strong following through a number of singles, Lord Finesse has a
            long history as a performer and producer. Breaking through with
            his classic Funky Technician, on the now highly-revered Wild
            Pitch Records in 1990, Lord Finesse signed on with Rhyme Syndicate
            Management and recorded his 1991 major-label debut, Return of the
            Funky Man, for Giant Records. When not on the road supporting his
            albums he began producing for other gold and platinum selling
            artists and over the years has cut tracks for Notorious B.I.G.,
            Jay-Z, Fat Joe, Capone-N-Noreaga and many others. He began
            recording his follow-up From The Crates To The Files, but it was
            shelved halfway through the sessions. Finesse kept up his steady
            pace of production throughout the years and dropped the
            occasional 12" to keep the fans hungry. Now back with From The
            Crates To The Files: The Lost Sessions, there is no stopping the
            Funky Man!
