Pete Rock Artist Snapshot:

With his partner in crime, C.L. Smooth, Pete Rock was part of one of the True School's most beloved duos. As a DJ, beatmaker, and mixtape guru, however, the Bronx native became flat-out hip-hop royalty. Rock is a pillar of the underground grind, but, thanks to his sterling reputation for beat mining and an undeniable ear for the hit, his production work has graced records by everyone from Public Enemy, Ghostface, and Nas to 50 Cent, Notorious B.I.G., and even Brandy and Keisha Cole. His solo albums blend boom-bap beats and jazzy samples and productions into a distinctively tasteful whole. Simply put, Pete Rock is an institution.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Pete Rock has been crushing grooves with consistency. SOUL SURVIVOR II is no exception to Rock's rule."
Q (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[W]hen Pete's old partner CL Smooth turns up on the irresistible 'Appreicate,' it's clear a master is at the controls."
Vibe (p.153) - 3 1/2 out of 5 - "Even with an assortment of guests, Pete's sample-heavy collages are diverse enough to make SOUL SURVIVOR II a true album experience rather than another compilation."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 - "SS2 finds Urban column fave Pete Rock back at the peak of his powers."

Title Note

Personnel include: Pete Rock; J Dilla, Dead Prez, Kardinal Offishall, Krumsnatcha, Little Brother, Pharoahe Monch, Postaboy, RZA, Talib Kweli, Leela James, C.L. Smooth.

Pete Rock may be best known for his early-1990s work with C.L. Smooth and particularly for the duo's enduring hit "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)." However, given his collaborations with everyone from A Tribe Called Quest to Talib Kweli, the one-time DJ and his larger influence on hip-hop cannot be underestimated. Rock's beat-layering brilliance is most obvious on his solo albums, and though they are few and far between, each one becomes treasured by loyal fans.

SOUL SURVIVORS II continues Rock's streak of hip-hop mastery and features a host of respected rappers, who proceed to display their lyrical deftness over the best beats he has to offer. The RZA joins the GZA on the horn-laced "Head Rush," while lesser-known Krumbsnatcha states his case on the sinister "Beef," and the incomparable Pharoahe Monch contributes his rambling-yet-proficient rapping skills to the funky "Just Do It." The best moment, however, may be when Rock reunites with Smooth on the sly "It's a Love Thing." The result reaches the level of rap genius, and tops off a record that does not disappoint.
