Mr Bongo

Joint American/Canadian hip-hop group, originally composed of DJ/producer brothers Kevin McKenzie (aka K-Cut), Shawn McKenzie (aka Sir Scratch) from Toronto, Canada, and Queens rapper/producer William Paul Mitchell (aka Large Professor). Large Professor later left and was replaced by another MC, Michael Deering (aka MC Mikey D).
Main Source is a renowned hip-hop group that has made significant contributions to the music industry. Comprised of talented DJ/producers Kevin McKenzie and Shawn McKenzie from Toronto, Canada, along with Queens rapper/producer William Paul Mitchell. Their unique blend of beats and lyrics captivates audiences worldwide.
Although Main Source experienced a change in lineup when Large Professor departed, they seamlessly integrated MC Mikey D into their dynamic team. With their distinctive sound and powerful performances, Main Source continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene.

Mr Bongo is a British label that was founded in 1989. Originally located in a small record shop of the same name, it later moved to various locations in Soho and Shibuya, Japan. In 1999, the label's office was relocated to Brighton and its London & Shibuya shops were closed in 2003. However, a new shop was opened in Brighton in 2016. Since 2004, Mr Bongo has expanded into the world of cinema and also has a publishing division that produces and licenses music for third parties.
The label's rich history and diverse range of music make it an influential player in the industry. With its extensive catalog and commitment to quality, Mr Bongo continues to be at the forefront of discovering new talent and delivering exceptional music experiences.

Main Source's paean to the simple pleasures of relaxing with friends is built over two tried-and-tested samples. The dreamy, swoony sounds of Vanessa Kendrick's timeless 90% of Me is You is ever-present during this stone-cold classic, while Sister Nancy's unmistakeable 'Bam Bam' lends several elements to the mix. Throw in some Skull Snaps and Sweet Charles and you've got the perfect soundtrack for a roll call of Large Professor's nearest and dearest. There are plenty of reasons why so many regard Breaking Atoms as an all-time classic album, and the sheer variety of singles lifted from it is chief among them. Large Professor was happy to roam over varied topics at a time when many rappers had a manic focus on one thing. And where better to hang out with friends than at a barbecue? Live at the Barbecue is rightly regarded as one of the best posse cuts of all time, and famous for showcasing the debut of one Nasty Nas. While he delivers a dope verse full of quotables over drums from Bob James' oft-plundered Nautilus, credit is also due to the other guests. Fatal and Akinyele aren't disgraced in this company, and Large Professor tops it off with a rare verse of pure brag-rap. An undisputed entry in the pantheon of head-nod hip-hop, this is its first official UK release, and another debut on 7".
