Pete Rock & CL Smooth – The Creator

This song is from All Souled Out, Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s 1991 EP, and is the only Pete Rock solo track on any of their albums. They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)  is the song they are most famous for but they were also on Run DMC’s 1993 hit Down With the King, which Rock also produced. He went on to produce and sing the chorus on Nas’ song The World is Yours, from Illmatic, and later worked on several projects with members of the Wu-Tang Clan.

If you haven’t heard this song before but it sounds familiar it may be because it was just used in Android’s handshake commercial.

Pete Rock is performing at the Echo tonight (3/26) with Slum Village.
