Clear vinyl edition! "Mecca And The Soul Brother", the 1992 full-length debut from Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, is considered as one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of all time. The first single, "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)", a dedication to their deceased friend "Trouble T-Roy", 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.
