His name is often included in the pantheon of the greatest, alongside <strong>DJ Premier, RZA &#038; J Dilla<\/strong>. 2019 sees the launch of <strong>Pete Rock<\/strong>\u2019s own imprint, <strong>Tru Soul Records<\/strong>. And being a lover of all things vinyl, he\u2019s decided that the label\u2019s inaugural release has to be for Record Store Day. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Rock<\/strong>\u2019s production forte is the melding of Jazz with early 90s East-Coast boom-bap, as demonstrated though his work with partner in rhyme <strong>CL Smooth<\/strong>. But there was a time before <strong>Pete<\/strong> met <strong>CL<\/strong>, a time before the world came to know <strong>Pete Rock &#038; CL Smooth<\/strong>, a time when <strong>Pete<\/strong> was a 19 year old in his basement in Mount Vernon, NY making beats with his SP-1200.
