Upful LIFE 2024: Favorite Records & More!Pete Rock & Common: The Auditorium Vol.1 Neither Common nor Pete Rock needs much of an introduction to anybody over 35. Their East Coast golden-era hip-hop bonafides are long established and mostly impeccable. However, with both men over 50 nowadays, and hip-hop forever a young person’s game, the question remained whether they had anything relevant, interesting, or poignant to say or contribute to the landscape today. With their throwback boom-bap collab LP The Auditorium Vol.1, these fellas show n’ prove that indeed they do. And please believe, they went ahead and did the dayum thang… and how! Colour me pleasantly surprised and stoked! A proper one producer/one emcee project, a cohesive statement from start to finish; this platter is the product of a bygone era just like these crafty veterans themselves. Since 1992, Pete Rock’s been The Creator, his bottomless crates and jazzy buttas have never – ever – been in question, he is a master of the craft of making beats (just don’t follow him on Instagram). Common, who’s been prone to some cheesy bullsh*t himself over the years, is back to emceeing with proper braggadocio and a chip on his shoulder, reminiscing over the glory days, hurling that Chi-town heat that first won our hearts with Resurrection and Like Water For Chocolate many moons ago. The Chocolate Boy Wonder remains a genius producer in the old-school essence, forever rich in soul samples and thwackin’ cracklin’ drums. Soul Brother Number One brings his magic touch with more intelligent, meticulous, screw-face bangers . Same as it ever was. Somewhere up there, Rashid’s Pops is delivering a priestly benediction. Hot Tracks: “Dreamin’”, “Now & Then”, “Lonesome”, “Everything’s So Grand”, “Fortunate”*Peep the 8th annual comprehensive compendium w/ reviews, playlists, & purchase links!
