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.
Check out the full article at Complex.
