Iconic New York producer/deejay/emcee Pete Rock has announced a collaborative project with veteran Bronx duo Camp Lo. The group, called 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s, has plans to release a summer album of the same name, in addition to a mixtape planned for March 22.
The trio began working together on Camp Lo’s 2009 single “On Smash”
, which also featured D-Block’s Styles P.
According to sources close to the project, the work is largely influenced by 1970s and 1980s gang life in the Bronx, which was chronicled in a film of the same name. Tracks presently include “Mic Check,” “Pot of Butter” and “99 Bottles,” and there are 14 in total.
