THE ROCK THAT PETE BUILT

Billy Drease says the color is “Pure Cyan Blue”…
…and the Dope 45s say..”Make it do what it do…in Blue!!”

I chose blue for its representation of water, flowing water, flowing-winding cold water carving through the rocks…the PETE ROCKS! Water has a tranquility about it that can really put on at ease, and it has the unique ability to conform to any shape and space it interacts with.

Pete Rock, The Money Earnin’ Mt. Vernon beat maker is certainly in my top 10 producers list. Pete’s music reigned in the 90’s with his signature horn treatments and bass heavy arrangements powered by chopped up samples and/or loops. People seem to forget his contribution to hip hop and music abroad. Lastly, he has nothing to prove as far as I’m concerned, simply for the these three reasons: Mecca and Soul Brother album (CLASSIC), Public Enemy “Shut em’ Down” remix and Nas’ “The World is Yours”…
