Pete Rock – Tru Master (Promo CDS) (1998) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

Pete Rock is synonymous with the hard-hitting hip-hop style known as boom bap, though as with fellow top-tier producer DJ Premier, the term does not reflect the rich musicality of his tracks. The beatmaker, DJ, and occasional rapper got his start by co-producing several tracks on Heavy D & The Boyz’ “Big Tyme” (1989) and truly emerged in the early 90’s beside CL Smooth, with whom he minted the classic album “Mecca And The Soul Brother” (1992).

Before the end of the decade, Rock released “Soul Survivor” (1998), the first of many solo projects made with a revolving door of guest rappers and singers, and established himself as a producer of original material and remixes for other artists. He has juggled his commissioned work with solo and duo albums such as the “PeteStrumentals” series (2001-2022), his and Smoke DZA’s “Don’t Smoke Rock” (2016), and his and Common’s “The Auditorium Vol. 1” (2024). The latter earned Rock his first Grammy nominations.
