Mount Vernon, New Yorkers Pete Rock (a producer/DJ) and rapper <a href="spotify:artist:2i4dJzzPuB6lTP1ZQv9Tfb">C.L. Smooth</a> emerged in the early '90s as a powerhouse performance duo. Their 1992 album Mecca & the Soul Brother was a hip-hop classic with great cuts including "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" and "Straighten It Out." They later collaborated with <a href="spotify:artist:1XkoF8ryArs86LZvFOkbyr">Mary J. Blige</a> for a remix of her song "Reminisce" that effectively merged the two tracks in a re-edited hit. Their next album, The Main Ingredient, appeared in 1994, but they parted ways for solo careers one year later. Through productions and remixes for dozens of artists, including <a href="spotify:artist:4KHdmkq99PXA6QEJ2lKpA3">Heavy D & the Boyz</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6Mo9PoU6svvhgEum7wh2Nd">Public Enemy</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a>, as well as several solo ventures, Pete Rock solidified his reputation as one of the most crucial figures in hip-hop. <a href="spotify:artist:2i4dJzzPuB6lTP1ZQv9Tfb">C.L. Smooth</a> released a pair of albums during the 2000s. The duo occasionally reconnected, toured together, and talked of new recordings. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
