Legendary New York-duo Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth are considered one of the most respected and influential hip-hop constellations of the 1990’s, despite their position beside the main stream. Their many heavy-weight collaborations include Public Enemy, Heavy D and EPMD. The duo is also responsible for producing Run-DMC:s comeback single “Down with the King” from ‘93. DJ Pete Rock’s taste for obscure jazz samples and the philosophic rap lyrics of C.L. Smooth placed them in the foreground of the genre “jazz rap”, alongside groups such as Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. DJ Pete Rock is hailed as one of the world’s finest hip-hop producers, in the league of DJ Premier and RZA.
The night is presented by CLASSIKS; Miguel Pizarro (founder of club YES!), Petter (one of Sweden’s top hip-hop artists) och P.O (founder and creative director of Soblue Creative).
