Released four years after its previous album, Hard to Earn, this album could be perceived as a comeback, with a newer, updated style of the group's already-established jazz-tinged hip-hop.
Originally released in 1994 as the follow-up to 1992's Daily Operation, Hard To Earn was Gang Starr's fourth full-length and it found the duo stripping things down and offering more of a straight up hip-hop record full of raw beats and attitude.
The Diary is the sixth studio album by hip hop recording artist J Dilla. It was originally intended for release in 2002 under the title Pay Jay. This long-lost album is the final batch of unissued material that J Dilla had assembled for release.
Pete Rock isn’t the first hip-hop producer to sample jazz, but Mecca and the Soul Brother is first hip-hop album to consistently reflect the fluidity of jazz.
Pete Rock is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time. His name is oft included in the pantheon of the greatest, alongside DJ Premier, RZA and J Dilla.
