Breaking Atoms

Thirty years after its original release, Main Sources debut album Breaking Atoms has lost none of its capacity to surprise or delight. It remains a prime example of a classically styled hip-hop LP - two DJs, one MC, 11 tracks, no flab or filler. It wasnt a slow burner - it was adored on release and hasnt left the top ten of any serious rap fan ever since. Few albums of this length are able to spawn four singles - all of them must-haves - while still having material galore on the album that could have been pressed as a 12. Snake Eyes Vamos a Rapiar and He Got So Much Soul (He Dont Need No Music) could have been singles in their own rights, an embarrassment of riches. An all-time Hip Hop classic, critically acclaimed, and one of the best albums of the genre. Featuring 4 hit singles including Looking at the Front Door. A production masterclass from Large Professor, and the debut of Nas.
