Black Fist Radio Promo: Pete Rock – Dilla Bounce (R.I.P.)
Soul Brother #1 aka Pete Rock is back with Petestrumentals 2, the sequel to the 2001 classic that helped define the hip-hip instrumental record. It marks the legend’s first album on Mello Music Group, a fitting 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 70’s Blaxploitation scores, rattling summer jeep cruises and blunted Jamaican vacations.
The single, Dilla Bounce (R.I.P.) is a gorgeous requiem to Dilla, where the originator pays tribute to the prodigy. You see the full range of Pete’s gifts on display: the meticulously chopped horns, unquantized drums, and air raid sirens. It contains the emotion of a thousand eulogies. This is the latest chapter–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.
