Sheek Louch - “Everyday”

Pete Rock gifts Warlock Louch with a nice flip of “Eleanor Rigby” and Sheek does not disappoint by holding up his end of the bargain lyrically.

I’ve mentioned my fondness over this album before, particularly the musicality that Pete Rock brought to the project. So you can imagine my delight when this little goodie popped up in the inbox.

Video: The Virtuoso Experience With Karriem Riggins

On a daily basis, I get a lot of bullshit in my inbox. Stuff that has ZERO relevance to what we do. Sorry, but I don’t care that Soulja Boy has a new ringtone or that Puffy videotaped himself on the crapper. Miss me with that. On the other end of the Bell Curve, we get material that I feel obligated...

J Dilla Feat. Black Thought - “Reality Check”

I’m by no means a Dilla disciple, but I definitely won’t turn away anything he’s involved with. With the vocal assist by Black Thought (somewhere GZA is smiling… or working on a Soulja Boy diss), this will be on the upcoming Jay Stay Paid project.

“Head Rush”

Words By Jesse H. I remember the first time I heard this track off of Soul Survivor II and just being floored at how well the RZA and Pete Rock fused their production styles. But I did some digging & Wikipedia gives production credit to Rock alone, and if that’s the case, he certainly does...

Terrace Martin Feat. Badd Lucc & J Black - “Ridin’ Out”

For whatever reason, Terrace Martin gets overlooked whenever the next generation of West Coast artists are mentioned. Since he doesn’t drop a song daily its easy for him to get lost in the shuffle. His Locke High Gangsta Grillz truthfully should’ve been a debut album, but as long he keeps...

“…If Worse Came To Worse, We’d Have All Said A Curse”

That “with Friends” that they throw on this was a huge understatement. Yes, Heav Bum diddly-diddly-diddly-diddly-diddly Dee & Pete were genuine friends with these artists so getting them all together for this song probably wasn’t hard. But when you have heavyweights like Kool...

“The Center Of Attention…”

Words By Jesse H. To put it simply, there hasn’t been a Pete Rock production that hasn’t left my eardrums sufficiently shook. What a nice surprise then, that while spending time at one of the delightful sites that contributes to the tremendously impressive Hip Hop sample set (if you’ve never...

A Day In The Life Of A Soul Survivor…

Words By Landon A. There are only a few albums in anyone’s collection that can be played from start to finish — interludes, skits and instrumental tracks included. And few of these albums can be played any day of the year — from Christmas (or Kwanzaa or Hanukkah) to the fourth of July. Soul...
