'The widespread sampling on “Breaking Atoms” had never before been done with such finesse, intricacy and attention to detail. As a result, over next decade, hip-hop’s approach to incorporating samples into tracks changed forever. While the group eventually split due to differences, the members would go on to make instrumental contributions to hip-hop and work on projects with the likes of Big Pun, A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim and many more.
This year marked the 25th anniversary of Breaking Atoms’ release. In honor of the date, Vinyl Me Please hosted a reunion concert at New York’s SOB’s. In a time where protesters are flooding onto the streets in droves and normalized violence is a way of life, some of the very themes Main Source discussed 25 years ago are just as relevant today as they were then.
We caught up with the group to chat about the legacy of Breaking Atoms and the future of hip-hop.'

Large Pro is actually one of the most underrated MC's imo, probably down to the fact he so well known because of production...
