Pete Rock has a third installment of PeteStrumentals on its way, the appropriately titled PeteStrumentals 3. 

According to a recent Instagram post from the legendary producer, the cover art is finished and the project will be the first sample-less effort in the series. As noted in the caption, Rock will be joined by The Soul Brothers, which includes musicians Marcus Machado, drummer Daru Jones, bassist MonoNeon, keyboardist Big Yuki and singer Jermaine Holmes.

“So this is final @mononeon @darujones @officialmarcusmachado @bigyuki @jermaineholmes,” he wrote in the caption. “s/o to @DamionScott01 for the dope ass album cover smh. Drew for MARVEL may still do work for them now. shit is so dope #peterockandthesoulbrothers #peterock #darujones #marcusmachado #mdrix #jermaineholmes #mononeon #bigyuki.”

PeteStrumentals 2 arrived in June 2015 and served as the follow-up to the 2001 original. The third edition is Rock’s fifth instrumental album and trails 2019’s Return of the SP1200.
