Pete Rock, one of the biggest icons in hip hop music, is making his first ever visit to Australia coupled with MC Rock Marciano from the Busta Rhymes' posse.
Pete Rock first exploded onto the music scene in the late 80s as a DJ on Marley Marl’s radio show which aired every Friday and Saturday night.
With a solid fan base behind him, in the early 90s Pete began producing.
Not content with being a producer and DJ, Pete hooked up with long time friend and rapper CL Smooth in 1991. The rest is history.
With the release of the EP, All Souled Out, in 1991 and two full-length albums, Mecca and The Soul Brother, in 1992 and Main Ingredient in 94, Pete Rock & CL Smooth became a major force in the rap community.
Unleashing one of those all-time classic LPs every MC dreams of having, Mecca & The Soul Brother, we got an album which serves as a model for what every hip hop producer strives for when they lay down tracks for an artist. Pete Rock’s inaugural performance here in Adelaide is on Sat Dec 13 supported by Delta, Code One (Syd), Kim Dezen and Reflux.
Tickets from Area 101, BSharp, Da Klinic, Clinic 116 and Forest. $25 before $30 on the door
