MECCA AND THE SOUL BROTHER

Description

"Mecca And The Soul Brother" from 1992 is considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the best hip hop albums of the early 1990s. Songs like "Lots of Lovin", "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)", "Anger In The Nation" and "If Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right" have it all: funky basslines, solid production, compelling lyrics and a lot of soul. Producer Pete Rock built his beats from obscure R&B, funk, and jazz records and CL Smooth added his sometimes philosophical raps. Guest rappers on the album include Grand Puba (of Brand Nubian), Heavy D, Rob-O, Grap & Dida, and it reached number 7 on the US R&B/Hip-hop charts and number 43 on the US album charts. Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth stopped working together in 1995 after finishing their next album "The Main Ingredient".
