Mecca And The Soul Brother,
the critically acclaimed 1992 full-length debut from Pete Rock and CL
Smooth. The album is considered as one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of
all time. Boasting tracks such as the first single, "They Reminisce
Over You (T.R.O.Y.)", a dedication to their deceased friend; "Trouble
T-Roy". which went on to become not only their signature hit, but also one of Hip Hop's all-time great songs. The
album is propelled forward by Rock's quick, soulful interludes; usually
bits of old R&B tunes layered with his signature trumpet and sax
loops. Smooth's liquid freestyle delivery pieces together the perfect
vocal match that, together, creates a sprawling, nearly 80-minute-long
album on which not a single song or interlude is a throwaway or a
superfluous piece. Mecca And The Soul Brother has stood the test of time. The
release has been named one of the essential recordings of the 90s by
Rolling Stone, appears on Ego Trips listing of the Top 25 Hip Hop albums
released from 1980-1998, and appeared on The Source's 100 Greatest Rap
