Pete Rock Tells The Story Behind His Classic Records

Known for his use of horns, Pete Rock had the world of hip hop open since the instant classic “T.R.O.Y.”  As Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth dropped a few solid albums, Pete Rock still produced for other artists and continued to make a name for himself after the duo’s fall out producing for some of hip hops elites as well as dropping several solo albums.

Pete Rock talks about many of his hits with Complex Magazine.  It’s crazy hearing how Pete Rock made the beat for “Joy” by   Kanye featuring Jay-Z back in ’96. And of course to hear how “T.R.O.Y” came about is chilling.

Needlz Interview

Grammy Award Winning producer Needlz may not be the most popular producer but has a steady track record working with the likes of G-Unit, Drake, Lupe, Kweli, Jeezy, and Jadakiss just to name a few.  He sits down with Illuminati 2G to talks about his upcoming projects and a few of his hits.

You know you have some dope beats when Wayne writes songs to not just one track, but a whole beat CD:

Wayne got a hold of one of my beat cds and wrote a song to about every one of them and put them out on the net. It ended up working out for the best because out of those batch of records, was the one that ended up being I’m Going In.
