Information/Write-up

Formed by Toronto DJs/producers K.Cut, Sir Scratch, and Queens MC/producer Large Professor, Main Source was one of the seminal groups of the East Coast’s hip-hop scene in 90’s. The original trio’s first and only album Breaking Atoms, was released in 1991 to critical and commercial acclaim, before Large Professor left the group. They recorded a second album, The Science, and even ran ads for it in The Source, before the group’s breakup led to its indefinite shelving. Until now!

P-VINE RECORDS is proud to announce that we’re giving The Science its long deserved official release, almost three decades after it was initially set for release. This gem among gems of 90’s hip-hop, which had never seen so much as a bootleg release, is going to be released on Analog vinyl (1xLP)!

With tracks such as “Bootleg”, “Raise Up, “Time (Alternate Mix)”, and “Hella Vision”, taken from master tapes owned by the three original members, as well as well-loved classics like “Fakin’ The Funk” and “How My Man Went Down In The Game”, this record is sure to be killer. Large Professor’s flows are as smooth and lyrical as ever, and the sample-heavy beats that the producers lay down are supreme. Trust me when I say, that this is one record you’re not going to want to miss.

The legendary hip-hop group Main Source, consisting of Large Professor, K-Kat, and Sir Scratch, has finally released their long-unpublished album "The Science" is finally and miraculously released officially after more than 30 years! The album also includes completely unreleased material that has been historically unearthed!

The legendary hip-hop group Main Source, consisting of Large Professor, K-Cut, and Sir Scratch, debuted in 1991 with the release of their first album, the acclaimed "Breaking Atoms," on the Wild Pitch label. In 1992, the group released "Fakin' The Funk" from "White Men Can't Rap," a spin-off of the soundtrack to the movie "White Men Can't Jump," and "Bonafide Funk," which featured guest appearances on Brand New Heavies films. The Science", and is well on its way to the release of its second album, "The Science". While the announcement of the release of "The Science" was being published in THE SOURCE magazine, Raj Professor, the main rapper, left the group. The group brought in Mikey D as a new rapper, and "The Science" was completely put on hold.... (A song from that period, "How My Man Went Down In The Game," was included in the "Wild Pitch Classics" compilation released in 1993.) 　The second album, "The Science," produced by the main source during the Large Professor's tenure, is one of the rarest of the rarest of the rare, and one of the most treasured albums of the 90s hip-hop era. Although a small number of fragments of the album have been released on analog vinyl and bootleg, there must be many fans around the world who are waiting for the official release of the album in a cohesive form. Finally, in 2023, more than 30 years after the initial news of its release, the album was miraculously released officially! 　The album features classic songs such as "Fakin' The Funk" and "How My Man Went Down In The Game," which were produced and released after "Breaking Atoms," as well as "Time," "Hellavision," "Raise Up," and "Bootlegging," which core fans should be familiar with. Bootlegging" are also included on the album! (a version of "Fakin' The Funk [Unreleased]", which uses the famous ESG "UFO" sampling source that all hip-hop fans know and love!) ) and other dope instrumental tracks! This is a discovery that will shake the history of hip-hop!
