Happy Birthday: Pete Rock

Happy 42nd birthday to the General, also known as Soul Brother #1 and the Creator, PETE ROCK, one of the greatest Hip-Hop producers of all time, who also takes to the microphone as an MC and pretty wicked behind a set of turntables. With a catalog as heavy as his beats, he's a key person who helped set the tone for the golden era of Hip-Hop, alongside the likes of Marley Marl and Larry Smith. For now i'm posting a video of one of his tracks, but later today i'll post a tribute mix in honor of him on his date of birth.
