Pete Rock is the man who J Dilla told, "I wanted to be like you" Kanye once called himself the "new Pete Rock" But the original Pete Rock remains permanently vital - The evidence bangs in his latest opus, Petestrumentals 2, the sequel to the 2001 classic that helped defne the hip-hop instrumental record - It marks the legend's frst album on Mello Music Group, a ftting union between the author of the boom-bap blueprint and the label that's expanded upon his legacy

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.

An even 20 slaps and rhythmic levitations. It's Pete Rock at his best, accelerating and kicking cosmic slop, extending wishes, hope, love, gritty drums and eternal wonder.

This special 24 for '24 Artist Series Edition is a one time pressing on metallic gold vinyl w/ original KipDaFog oil painted cover art.
