180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, insert. Limited to 1500 copies. Catalog Number: MOVLP1633 Color: Yellow Format: LP UPC: 8719262035041 Mecca And The Soul Brother by Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth is considered by fans and critics as one of the finest hip hop albums of the early Nineties. Songs like ''Lots of Lovin'', ''They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)'',''Anger In The Nation'' and ''If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right'' have everything; funky basslines, solid production, convincing lyrics and lots 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 and Dida, and it reached #7 in the US R&B/Hip-hop charts and #43 in the US album charts.
