Soul Train 💯

We sit down with K-Cut @k_cut of Main Source @mainsourceband — producer, DJ, and record collector — for a conversation on the origins of Main Source, the making of the classic album Breaking Atoms, his evolution as a producer, digging culture, and what comes next.

From growing up between Queens and forming Main Source alongside Large Professor and Sir Scratch, K-Cut takes us back to the origins — late-night studio sessions working with Paul C, and building what would become one of the most important albums of the Golden Era: Breaking Atoms.

We explore:

• The early Wild Pitch era and hearing Main Source on the radio• Mentorship under Paul C• The group’s evolution and the second album Fuck What You Think with Mikey D• Reinvention and finding a new wave of success

K-Cut opens up about stepping away from the spotlight and how producer Rashad Smith helped bring him back into the fold, leading to work with LL Cool J, MC Lyte, Big Pun, and more.

We close with the next chapter: new Main Source music arriving around the 35th anniversary of Breaking Atoms.

In our “Drop a Gem on ’Em” segment, we touch on:

• Gang Starr• Bob Power• Jadakiss & Sheek Louch
