ABOUT PETE ROCK & MEMBERS OF THE SOUL BROTHERS

Pete Rock, is an American music producer, DJ, and rapper. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time and is often mentioned alongside DJ Premier, RZA, and Q-Tip as one of the mainstays of 1990s East Coast hip-hop production. He rose to prominence in the early 1990s as one-half of the critically acclaimed group Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Early on in his career, he was also famed for his remix work.

After the duo went their separate ways, Rock continued with a solo career that has garnered him worldwide respect, though little in the way of mainstream success. Along with groups such as Stetsasonic, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots, Rock played a major role in the merging of elements from jazz into hip-hop music (also known as jazz rap). Pete Rock is also the older brother and younger cousin, respectively, of rappers Grap Luva and Heavy D.

As his legend continues to grow, Pete brings members of his all-star live band, The Soul Brothers to where they tackle the monumental task of bringing his intricate productions to life in a live setting. The members include Jermaine Holmes, Christopher McBride, Brandon Newsome, Marcus Machado, Daru Jones and guest keyboardist Chad Selph.

ABOUT PHAROAHE MONCH w/th1rt3en

Pharoahe Monch is an American rapper known for his complex lyrics, intricate delivery, and internal and multisyllabic rhyme schemes.

th1rt3en is what you would get If Led Zepplin and Kendrick Lamar had a baby and raised it in Jamaica, Queens. The gritty production coupled with live instrumentation and exquisite lyricism creates a unique yet familiar sound that has been tried before but hasnt ever reached this level of artistry. Members of the band include Marcus Machado and Daru Jones.
His critically acclaimed A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism LP was released on January 22nd 2021, and made a top 20 debut on the iTunes US Top Albums Chart, with the band appearing on NPRs Tiny Desk Concerts, TIDALs in-app sessions and The Late Show with Stephen Colberts #PlayAtHome Online Series.
