PETE ROCK + CL SMOOTH - THE MAIN INGREDIENT BOX SET

First they did it with Mecca + The Soul Brother....Now they're doing it with The Main Ingredient!! Unfortunately, there aren't really any b-sides on it and only one remix. But when music is the dope and iconic, I'll still be happy with 12" versions, instrumentals, and acapellas. It drops January 24th!!

Marley Marl disciple Pete Rock is rightly hailed as one of the greatest producers around. Jazzy and soulful, his productions are some of the smoothest, funkiest, most innovative, and listenable on record. Though he's produced a crate-full of hits, it's his work with front man C.L. Smooth that's most fondly remembered, and The Main Ingredient--the duo's second album, after Mecca and the Soul Brother--lives up to the hype. Smooth's proficiency on the mic doesn't match his partner's studio wizardry, but not many do, and Smooth's easygoing, free-flowing delivery complements the grooves to good effect (and more importantly, keeps Rock from taking on too many vocal duties). Great for parties or a lazy weekend afternoon, The Main Ingredient is fondly remembered for all the right reasons. --Randy Silver
