Check out this old Pete Rock DJ Set from October of 1988 from a new blog called Master Marks Magic Rap Attack… I’m looking forward to some more classic content from these guys!

Bronx born and Money Earnin Mount Vernon raised Pete Rock is an DJ, a Rapper, and a Producer. Pete rose to fame and gained his first audience in the World of Rap by working with DJ Marley Marl at WBLS in NYC doing the “In Control…” show and the “Future Flavas” show……at the tender age of 17. He was regarded as the man “puttin in work” because of his use of double copies of each record on each song he spun, a rarity at a time when most DJ’s might have done it every third or fourth…….probably his Jamaican heritage at work.

He was half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth.

He began producing in the early 1990s working with such groups as Run DMC, Public Enemy, Biggie and Nas.

When the hip-hop elders get together at their secret meeting in the mountains of Switzerland every year to talk about the state of things, they consistently place Pete Rock next to DJ Premier, Dr. Dre, and RZA on the list of five greatest hip-hop producers of all time. In fact, many heads, particularly those who are descended from the jazzy-soulful Native Tongues division of the hip-hop nation, routinely place his greatest beat, “T.R.O.Y. (They Reminisce Over You),” at the very top of the list of the greatest beats by anyone.
