Back in the summer of 1999, before the And1 Mix Tape Tour ever existed, Main met some people from And1. After discussing the streetball scene he helped bring other streetballers to the And1 family including "Shane the Dribbling Machine" and "Half Man Half Amazing" and worked with And1 to throw the original And1 Mix Tape game later that summer at his home court in Linden, NJ. Over a thousand people came out to watch what turned into footage for And1 Mixtape Vol. 2. "Main" and the guys were signed to endorsement deals that fall and the rest is history.
