Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Breaking Atoms' is a masterful, highly influential display of Large Professor's pristine jazz-funk sampling and classic boom-bap production. The album is incredibly rhythmic and energetic, balancing boastful, conscious lyricism with mellow urban grooves, and famously features the debut appearance of Nas.
