Cool calm Pete

"The one, the only
Never smokin' any stogie
Funny like Yogie, and in golf I hit a bogey"

Pete Rock & C.L Smooth - Cool & Calm
(From the vaults; 1990/the Basement Demos EP; 2009)


Late pass on this highlight of Pete Rock & C.L Smooth's Basement Demos EP, a record ya host had no idea existed until The Lads© put me onto it earlier this week. Very different tone to All Souled Out here - none of Pete's trademark horn samples, and it's like C.L nicked a page from Grand Puba's notepad when Pubes was ghostwriting for Pete.
