Pete Rock is an American rapper and producer, born on June 21, 1970 in the Bronx, New York City. He has been a prominent figure in the NYC rap scene since the late 1980s. Pete Rock is best known for his work as part of the duo Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth.

In addition to his music career, Pete Rock also runs Soul Brother Records and Tru Soul Records. These record labels have allowed him to showcase his passion for music and support other artists within the industry.

With a sound that blends soulful samples with hard-hitting beats, Pete Rock has become a respected name in hip-hop production. His influential style has inspired many artists in the genre, including Large Professor, DJ Premier, and Hi-Tek.

Bronx duo Camp Lo have teamed up with the one and only Pete Rock to drop 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s (a mixtape series available as a full length). With the projects name paying homage to the BX gangs of the 70s, it’s only right that they bring it back to hip-hop’s essence in the video, graffiti, b-boys, rhymin’ on the project stairways, two turntables and a mic. Pete Rock, whose production work helped define the 90s “golden age” is a rare exception. Rock’s one of the few musicians who made his name in the aggressively unflashy 90s East Coast sound who’s managed to stay continually relevant without capitulating to changing tastes. 80 Blocks from Tiffany's offers proof that amidst the expeditions rap music’s launching into new sonic territories like EDM, noisy psychedelia, and quasi-industrial music, the classic boom-bap stuff still has a place featuring Mac Miller, MOP, Ab-Soul, Talib Kweli and more..
