Main Source Breaking Atoms Hoodie

Description

Before Nas dropped Illmatic, he dropped a verse on “Live at the Barbeque.” That verse was on Breaking Atoms.

1991. Wild Pitch Records. Main Source — Large Professor, K-Cut, and Sir Scratch — put out one of the most quietly influential records in hip-hop history. “Looking at the Front Door.” “Just Hangin’ Out.” “Peace Is Not the Word to Play.” Large Pro’s production rewrote the rules: jazz loops chopped to nothing, drums sitting deep in the pocket, samples flipped so clean other producers spent years trying to figure out where they came from.

This is the album Pete Rock studied. The one DJ Premier still tips his hat to. The blueprint for everything that became East Coast boom bap. And the record that introduced a 17-year-old kid from Queensbridge to the world before the world knew his name.
