Pete Rock And C.L. Smooth - Main Ingredient (Instrumental Cuts) album flac

Smooth ‎– Main Ingredient (Instrumental Cuts). Label: Not On Label ‎– none. Format: 2 Vinyl, LP, Unofficial Release.

The Main Ingredient is the second album by Pete Rock & CL Smooth, released on November 8, 1994. It would become their last album together. Characterized by sultry soul and jazz samples, The Main Ingredient saw a more polished sound than the duo’s debut, building on the praise that they had already garnered. The album is notable for its snappy, crispy drums and extensive use of vocal scratches, usually from songs by Biz Markie

The result is an album that is far more focused, with all the ragged edges and loose threads tied up. It is also just as good as the first record, perhaps an even more satisfying single listen. The Main Ingredient is full of rich, resonant, hypnotic songs - the production being among some of the most seductive in hip-hop - that subtly, but absolutely, swing with their lock-step precision. In characteristic Pete Rock fashion, all of the sharp edges have been sanded down, leaving a vibrant and completely lush musical backdrop which seems to have a dreamy nostalgia about it.

Their next album, The Main Ingredient, appeared in 1994, but they parted ways for solo careers one year later. Through productions and remixes for dozens of artists, including Heavy D & the Boyz, Public Enemy, and Nas, as well as several solo ventures, Pete Rock solidified his reputation as one of the most crucial figures in hip-hop. Smooth released a pair of albums during the 2000s. The duo occasionally reconnected, toured together, and talked of new recordings.
