Large Professor is a respected rapper and producer from Flushing, Queens, NYC, USA. His livelihood is mostly based on his production work.
He attended John Bowne High School in Flushing.
Unfortunately, some of his former John Bowne classmates haven’t had the level of success that he has had and many of them have ended up homeless or addicted to drugs. Of course, Large Pro didn’t go that route and chose to live life on his own terms.

Black Swan is a psychological thriller movie from 2010 about a ballet dancer who loses her mind while practicing for the ballet called Swan Lake.
Lakutis‘ feathers never ruffle unlike the main character, Nina Sayers, played by Natalie Portman.
There’s also a reference to Australian actor, Russell Crowe. It’s a play on the word “Crow” and Russell’s last name, “Crowe”.
Russell’s down with the cause though, pictured here with RZA
Jon Snow is a character from A Song of Ice & Fire fantasy novel series as well as the TV adaptation of that series, HBO’s Game of Thrones. He is a bastard, meaning that he was born out of wedlock. His father is presumed to be Ned Stark, of House Stark. However, there are a few theories as to who Snow’s parents really are.
As a member of the Night’s Watch, Snow wears their signature dark, winter clothing. The outfit makes them look like crows, hence members of Night’s Watch are often referred to as “Crows,” which is another connection to the “black swan” and “crow/Crowe” bits.
Like Jon Snow, Lakutis is also a bastard.
