Our Take

Ah, Main Source, the hip-hop pioneers from Queens, New York. Their album "Breaking Atoms" solidified their status in the golden era of hip-hop, but let's talk about their single "Peace Is Not The Word To Play (Remix) / Peace Is Not The Word To Play (Album Version)."

The remix kicks off with a funky bassline that instantly gets your head nodding. The samples are expertly chopped and layered, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The lyrics delve into the complexities of peace and conflict, with poignant verses that hit close to home in today's tumultuous world.

On the other hand, the album version takes a more stripped-back approach, letting the lyrics take center stage. The raw emotion in the vocals is palpable, drawing the listener in with each word.

Main Source has always been known for their thought-provoking lyrics and innovative production, and this single is no different. They effortlessly blend social commentary with infectious beats, creating a track that is both catchy and meaningful.

In conclusion, "Peace Is Not The Word To Play" showcases Main Source at the top of their game. Whether you're in the mood for a head-bobbing remix or a soul-stirring album version, this single has something for everyone. So go ahead, press play, and let Main Source take you on a musical journey like no other.
