Lord Finesse is a Hip hop artist and producer, hailing from The Bronx, New York, best known as the leader of the D.I.T.C. rap crew. In 1989, Finesse and his former partner DJ Mike Smooth signed to Wild Pitch Records, home to other popular Hip Hop artists like Gang Starr, Main Source, Chill Rob G, Percee P and O.C.. In 1990, the duo released their debut album Funky Technician. The album featured production from future star beat-makers DJ Premier, Diamond D and Showbiz. Soon after, Finesse formed the popular New York underground crew D.I.T.C., an acronym for ‘Diggin In The Crates’, together with Showbiz & AG and Diamond D. Future members included Fat Joe, O.C., Buckwild and the late Big L.
Finesse returned as a solo artist in late 1991 with his second effort, Return of the Funky Man. The album featured guest appearances from Percee P and AG. The album’s title track peaked at #13 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. Return of the Funky Man also included a couple of songs that were produced by Finesse himself, and this would be the start of a career as a much respected hip-hop producer. In 1994 Finesse made a production appearance on The Notorious B.I.G.’s classic debut Ready to Die, on the track Suicidal Thoughts. In 1995, he produced a big portion of Big L’s debut album Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, including the single M.V.P. and also made an appearance on one of the album’s highlight songs “Da Graveyard”. He finally returned as an artist in 1996 with the now rare 12″ single Check The Method and then the acclaimed album The Awakening. Finesse produced the entire album himself, and enlisted a large number of guests, including O.C., KRS-One, MC Lyte, Akinyele, Showbiz and A.G., Diamond D and Kid Capri. The underground single Actual Facts, featuring Sadat X, Grand Puba and Large Professor, was included as a hidden track on the album.
Finesse hasn’t released a studio album since this effort, but has continued his production work. In 1997, he produced the title track to O.C.’s acclaimed effort Jewelz and also the track “Channel 10″ off of Capone-n-Noreaga’s debut The War Report. Finesse released a mixtape called Diggin’ On Blue in 1999. Later in the year, he produced the track The Message on Dr. Dre’s seminal 2001 album. Finesse is currently working on a Funky Technician remix project, as well as a new D.I.T.C. album. Along with these projects, he and DJ Premier are working on a posthumous Big L album.
In 1998, Finesse provided the vocal sample on the hook to The Rockafeller Skank, a hit single by British musician Fatboy Slim from his album You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby. The song features Finesse’s repeated line “Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother”.
Lord Finesse returned to the mic on Handsome Boy Modeling School’s album White People in 2004. He was featured on the song entitled “Rock ‘N’ Roll (Could Never Hip-Hop Like This) pt. 2, collaborating with famous old-school DJ’s Grand Wizard Theodore and Jazzy Jay. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park make appearances, as well as Rahzel of The Roots.

Mos Def performing travellin’ man with dj honda
lyrics:
Intro:
yeah yo yo what time the plane leavin?
ahhh alright, i see you at the airport
*samples of “r-r-r-r-rock on”*
Chorus:
Memories don’t live like people do
They always remember you
Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories don’t live like people do-o
Baby don’t forget me, I’m a travellin’ man
Movin through places, space and time
Gotta lotta things i got to do
GOD willin’ I’m comin back to you
My baby boo
I’m a travellin’ man
Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime)
Gotta lotta things i got to do
But GOD willin’ I’m comin back to you
Baby boo
I’m leavin
Verse 1:
Well go ‘head and leave
The call heard ’round the world from the wives of MC’s
These cats is payin’ more that half a pound
A garment bag we snatch it down
Ain’t got the state but we could prob’ly run a blacker town
Scenarios like this is tear jerkers
For the modern MC I ain’t a blue collar worker
‘Cuz this thing called rhymin’ no different from coal minin’
We both on assignment to unearth the diamond
When you start climbin’
And them eyes start shinin’
You be strugglin’ and strivin’
And they think you prime-timin’
Maintain and keep silence make note and observation
This confrontation
This is the daily operation
A concentration
Stay focused on my recitation
‘Bout to reach my destination with no pause or hesitation
Baby make the preperation ‘cuz this ain’t no recreation
This is Pro Ball!
And we lettin you know y’all
At the show y’all
Doin’ this for dough y’all
Get the phone call
And I’m ready to blow y’all
‘Bout to go y’all
Been a pleasure to know y’all
And I’m lettin’ you know that…
Chorus:
Memories don’t live like people do
They always remember you
Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories don’t live like people do-o
Baby don’t forget me, I’m a travellin’ man
Movin through places, space and time
Gotta lotta things i got to do
GOD willin I’m comin back to you
My baby boo
I’m a travellin’ man
Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime)
Gotta lotta things i got to do
But inshallah I’m comin back to you
Baby boo
I’m leavin
Verse 2:
But God willin’ I’ll be back home
To drop these heavy ass bags up off my backbone
Around the world with a catalog of rap songs
My baby girl is walkin, been away for that long
But no you haven’t well at least that’s how it seem to me
My home town is like a whole different scenery
The old timers on the stoop leaning leisurely
The new jacks up in the bar smokin greenery
Easily taken for granted when you up in it but its sweet scented
When you been down for a minute
Move around city limits
Break it down with the vintage
The innovative
Classical B-Boy image
Collect the winners
‘Cuz thats the reason that we came here
This thing is not a game here
The fortune not the fame here
From New York to the Cakalaks
Cali in the Caddilacs
Chicago know we innovate
Infiltrate Virginia State
DC make me stimulate
Philly know we penatrate
Georgia make us generate
Let’s set a date to get the pace
They celebrate to my jams in foreign lands
Even your mans in Japan know who I am
Minasan, make everybody out in Nippon
Say ichiban, make yard man know where ya getti from ??
Phenomenon, ‘scuse me that’s a phone call
Its the show y’all
Tryin’ to get this dough y’all
‘Bout to blow y’all
Been a pleasure to know y’all
And I’m lettin’ you know that…
Chorus:
Memories don’t live like people do
They always remember you
Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories don’t live like people do-o
Baby don’t forget me, I’m a travellin’ man
Movin through places, space and time
Gotta lotta things i got to do
But inshallah I’m comin back to you
My baby boo
I’m a travellin’ man
Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime)
Gotta lotta things i got to do
But GOD willin I’m comin back to you
Back to you
I’m leeaaavvvvinnn’!
I’ll be back to you
I’m leeaaavvvvinnn’!
I’ll be back to you
All over the world we go
DC all over the world we go
VA all over the world we go
The Cakalaks all over the world we go
London all over the world we go
Japan we go over the world we go
Paris we go over the world we go
