Pete Rock

Peter Phillips, aka Pete Rock, is a record producer, DJ and rapper of Jamaican descent. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s as one half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth.

After the duo went their separate ways, Rock continued with a solo career that has garnered him worldwide respect, though little in the way of mainstream success. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots and Gang Starr, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from soul and jazz into hip hop music.

He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier and RZA as one of the mainstays of 1990s east coast hiphop production…

Essential Vitamins Crew

Essential Vitamins Crew (EVC) is a collective from Buffalo, New York. The group consists of H2O the Aquaman, Keith Concept, Jay MF G., Mad Dukez, Kinda Like Dreamin’ (Sam Doons & Dr. Ooo), Mellow Man Jay, Legal the Lifesaver, Prolific, Cove, Specill K, Mic Excel, DJ Optimus Prime, Xnow the Last MC and L-Biz.

They have a conscious, positive approach toward the culture, using natural flow and chill beats. Cove made most of the instrumentals for the crew, and he made solo releases as well with dope productions. One of my favourite from him is Love.Lost/Love.Gained, which can be replayed several times without getting bored of it.

DJ Optimus Prime has great skills on the turntables, most of the tracks has some cuts from him.

Some of their music can be downloaded for free, just look for the ‘Name your price’ tag, but I suggest you to support them, because they really need the support, thats why I chose them as the first PROMOTION post on my blog…
