Soul and jazz driven beats with smooth, philosophical lyics, that is the signature sound of 90’s hip-hop and the signature sound of one of the most influential and critically acclaimed acts of the era: Pete Rock & CL Smooth.
The perfect combination of producer and MC, Pete Rock & CL Smooth will be performing a very rare London show in celebration of their 25 years since the release of debut EP All Souled Out.
Taking the baton from the likes of Marley Marl, who gave him some of his earliest radio exposure, Pete Rock’s complex sound used the funk sampled by the previous generation of hip-hop pioneers and added a layer of jazz that is his defining sound. While work with the cream of hip-hop including Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious B.I.G., Nas and Public Enemy has set him apart from the rest, it's his work with his long time partner in rhyme CL Smooth on their incredible two full length albums, Mecca and the Soul Brother and The Main Ingredient, that cemented his place as one of the greatest producers of all time and theirs as one of the greatest duo in hip-hop history.
Taking place at The Garage in London, Friday September 2nd, you can get your tickets for the 25th anniversary show here.
