Main Source - Lost Science

Main Source demos that were originally recorded for their unreleased 2nd album "The Science." It was released about 2 months ago as a limited pressing by Diggers With Gratitude. The demos were given to DWG by K-Cut as he originally played them on a Canadian radio show which you can find here.

Here's information on the tracks:

"Bootlegging" - Large Pro takes on the role of the bootlegger on this lost gem, check the horns, this one features on "Lungbutters".

"Raise Up" - "The Science" was going to be constructed of a bunch of 'Interlude' style tracks - this is one of them.

"Time (alternative mix)" - early demo version of the track recently unearthed for a Japanese only release on P-Vine/Actual Records.

Note: The Lost Science EP didn't hit the blogsphere yet so you will probably see it on a few blogs within a few hours. If they don't give us credit, they probably jacked our link, but we can only take that as a form of flattery, right?

This is also my first vinyl rip so be on the look out for a few rarities in the future.

Main Source Interviews w/trivia

Large Professor

K-Cut


In 1991, Main Source released their debut album "Breaking Atoms". It's consider one of the greatest hip-hop album of all time. Main Source consisted of Large Professor, K-Cut, and Sir Scratch. "Breaking Atoms" is known for tracks like "Just Hangin' Out", "Looking at the Front Door", "Just a Friendly Game of Baseball", and "Live at the Barbecue" which is Nas' first appearance on a hip-hop record. Large Pro left the group in 1992 because of business differences.

Large Professor was recently interviewed on Rosenberg Radio. He talked about a lot of things like production, artists he worked with, Main Source... It was great to hear what he had to say.

K-Cut was interviewed a few days ago on The Real Frequency (Toronto radio). The interview was full of trivia. For example, he said that "Snake Eyes" was directed at Eric B after Large Pro didn't receive any money for the work he did on the "Let the Rhythm Hit Em". He also played unreleased tracks that were supposed to be on their second album "The Science". No more spoilers... enjoy the interviews.
