Memories from an album.. The Main Ingredient

peterockclsmooth

This album dropped my in my freshman year at Ann Arbor in ‘94. At the time, I was in a hip-hop craze. I had Ready to Die, Tical, Project: Funk Da World, and Murder was the Case all on some type of rotation in my headphones. But, I was really surprised that Pete Rock & CL Smooth took over my attention so quickly and profoundly. The album was solid in its production, in my opinion, better than their previous album. It had me hunting for where Pete Rock got his samples from and appreciating new genres of music beyond my hip-hop scope. CL Smooth maintained consistent in his flow and lyrical dexterity for each topic on the album. Take You There, Searching, and In The House became my dorm room soundtrack. I was equally impressed to see how 9th Wonder flipped Take You There in later years. A Know The Ledge recommendation for must have if you were born after 1985.
