PeteStrumentals 2 (Metallic Gold Vinyl) - By: Pete Rock - Model Number: MMG00071LPC

Description

"Pete Rock is the man who J Dilla told, I wanted to be like you.� Kanye once called himself the new Pete Rock.� But the original Pete Rock remains permanently vital. The evidence bangs in his latest opus, Petestrumentals 2, the sequel to the 2001 classic that helped define the hip-hop instrumental record. It marks the legend™s first album on Mello Music Group, a fitting union between the author of the boom-bap blueprint and the label that™s expanded upon his legacy.

Petestrumentals 2 conjures memories of BBQ cookouts and 70s Blaxploitation scores, rattling summer jeep cruises and blunted Jamaican vacations. There™s a gorgeous requiem to Dilla (Dilla Bounce (R.I.P),� where the originator pays tribute to the prodigy. You see the full range of Rock™s gifts on display: the meticulously chopped horns, unquantized drums, and air raid sirens. It contains the emotion of a thousand eulogies.

An even 20 slaps and rhythmic levitations. It™s Pete Rock at his best, accelerating and kicking cosmic slop, extending wishes, hope, love, gritty drums and eternal wonder.

This special 24 for '24 Artist Series Edition is a one time pressing on metallic gold vinyl w/ original KipDaFog oil painted cover art."
