Starting in the mid 80’s as a New York DJ at WBLS with Marley Mal then into the early 90’s producing, Pete Rock, sets his foundation for becoming a living legend in the Hip Hop community. Pete Rock joins with good friend C.L. Smooth in 1991 starting a three year legacy putting out work book material for newcomers to the game.. They started with “All souled out” (1991) then off to “Mecca & SoulBrother” (1992), “Main Ingredients” (1994), these three albums became a major force in the Hip Hop community.. “Mecca & SoulBrother” is a classic LP which should serve as a model for every Hip Hop producer in the game. In 1994 Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth shocked the industry by separating and going their own ways. Pete Rock signs with Loud Records as a solo MC In 1998 releasing SoulSurvivor.
