In a year that’s watched Little Brother take a bow, and Slum Village also claim a likely curtain call of their own with this month’s Villa Manifesto, a legendary Hip Hop duo has put aside their differences once more. Early this evening, Brooklyn Bodega, organizers for the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival told HipHopDX that Pete Rock & CL Smooth will take the stage together for the first time in over five years.
Saturday July 10, the duo that’s released two classic albums and an EP to boot will take the stage in Brooklyn. Stage times are still pending, but this reunion will serve as the first in six years, when the duo toured briefly and recorded two songs (“Appreciate” and “It’s A Love Thing”) for Pete Rock’s Soul Survivor II album.
There has been no mention of new recordings, but Pete Rock is confirmed to produce the next Smif n’ Wessun album in its entirety.
HipHopDX will keep you posted. Visit BrooklynBodega.com to purchase tickets.
FINALLY. Some positive fucking rap news.
“Appreciate” was so ill. Make more y’all.
Got damn that sounds ill. Still bump both classic albums, especially Mecca and the Soul Brother.
Miss that real hip hop.
Good to see they back together again, makes wanna go look deep in my closet and get Mecca and The soul Brother and Main Ingredient
they performed together in europe last yr
Yeah, there’s a video on Youtube of them playing in London last September I think.
I love these two to put out an EP and then get the album wit sum Heavy D and Grap Luv again. Mecca & The Soul Brother is an oft-forgotten classic buried deep in the hip hop genre. Same goes for the main ingredient.
Amen to that
Amen to that
respect to those guys as performers, but I wonder how long it’s going to be before they start dissing each other in interviews again.. don’t hold your breath on a new collaboration album.. CL Smooth should have followed up his momentum in the 90’s with solo albums.. instead he waits until what, 2005, to put something out? at least Pete rock kept producing, dropping occasional albums.. I wonder what kind of money it took for them to do this show.. i’m sure they have separate dressing rooms, separate contract riders..
yup….sadly it stopped being about the music for them
