2001 släppte den legendariska New York-producenten Pete Rock sin hyllade instrumentalplatta “Petestrumentals” via BBE, en skiva som innehöll sexton spår med “Soul Brother #1”:s särskilda signum. Tidigare i år meddelade Chocolate Boy Wonder att en ny volym beats skulle släppas efter midsommar.
Sagt och gjort så finns nu “Petestrumentals 2” ute via Mello Music Group. Streama nedan!
“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.
No record can’t be resurrected. There’s no sub-genre or era that can’t be converted into Rock’s singular brand of soul. His music is the closest thing we’ll ever get to a time-traveling DeLorean, effortlessly shifting between past, present, and future.”
