Before the term "super producer" became a staple in hip-hop, Larry Smith was already crafting legendary productions that shaped the genre. On this episode of Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray drop the needle on one of hip-hop’s most unsung pioneers—Larry Smith.

From his groundbreaking work with Run-D.M.C. and Whodini to his influence on the early sound of Def Jam, Smith’s musicianship set the foundation for what would become hip-hop’s golden era. But why isn’t his name as widely recognized as other production legends? The duo explores Smith’s deep roots as a bass player, his innovative production style, and why he ultimately walked away from hip-hop at its commercial peak.

Join us as we celebrate the man behind classics like ‘Sucker MCs,’ ‘Friends,’ and ‘Freaks Come Out at Night,’ and discuss how his legacy still echoes in today’s music. If you’re a fan of hip-hop history, classic beats, and deep storytelling, this episode is a must-listen.
