More Info:

Limited metallic gold colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes sticker. Pete Rock is the man who J Dilla told, "I wanted to be like you." Kanye once called himself the "new Pete Rock." But the original Pete Rock remains permanently vital. The evidence bangs in his latest opus, Petestrumentals 2, the sequel to the 2001 classic that helped define the hip-hop 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 70s Blaxploitation scores, rattling summer jeep cruises and blunted Jamaican vacations. There's a gorgeous requiem to Dilla ("Dilla Bounce (R.I.P)," where the originator pays tribute to the prodigy. You see the full range of Rock's gifts on display: the meticulously chopped horns, unquantized drums, and air raid sirens. It contains the emotion of a thousand eulogies. 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
