RETURN OF THE SP1200 by PETE ROCK
Description
Pete Rock “Return Of The SP1200” – the genesis of one of hip hop’s most influential producers debuting on Record Store Day on his own Tru Soul Records !
Rock’s production forte is the melding of Jazz with early 90s East Coast boom bap, as demonstrated though his work with partner in rhyme CL Smooth. But there was a time before Pete met CL, a time before the world came to know Pete Rock & CL Smooth, a time when Pete was a 19 year old in his basement in Mount Vernon, NY making beats with his SP-1200. These are those beats. Released for the first time ever on “Return Of The SP-1200”
