\nPete Rock is one of the most revered producers in Hip Hop history. As one-half of the early \u201990s rap duo Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, the Mount Vernon, New York native crafted the timeless \u201cThey Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)\u201d before solidifying his pedigree with classic cuts for Nas (\u201cThe World Is Yours\u201d), Public Enemy (\u201cShut \u2018Em Down Remix\u201d), Run-DMC (\u201cDown With the King\u201d) and many more.<\/p>\n

Combined with more recent collaborations with JAY-Z, Kanye West and Busta Rhymes, as well as the third installment of his PeteStrumentals<\/em> series<\/a> that dropped last year, it\u2019s safe to say Pete Rock remains the Soul Brother Number One as he enters his fourth decade in the rap game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looking to impart his wisdom on the newest generation of producers, Pete Rock has teamed up with Tracklib for their latest Beat Battle competition to offer one lucky winner the chance to work with the man himself.<\/p>\n

Staying true to Pete\u2019s soul-sampling foundation, aspiring producers must create a beat by flipping the 1970s soul gem \u201cHandle With Care\u201d by Ben Aiken, released on the influential label Philly Groove Records (home to The Delfonics and First Choice).<\/p>\n

The winner, selected by Pete Rock, will win a one-on-one virtual studio session with the legendary producer, as well as an MPC Live II Retro Edition (worth $1400) autographed by the Chocolate Boy Wonder himself.<\/p>\n

In addition to offering up-and-coming producers this rare opportunity, Pete Rock sat down with Tracklib to reminisce about his journey in Hip Hop. The 51-year-old beatsmith recalled learning how to produce from his cousin, the late Heavy D, falling in love with sampling through pause tapes and how the E-Mu SP-1200 changed his life.<\/p>\n

Pete also broke down the making of some of his most iconic productions, including Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth\u2019s \u201cThey Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.),\u201d Nas\u2019 \u201cThe World Is Yours\u201d and JAY-Z and Kanye West\u2019s \u201cThe Joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, working with Kanye in Hawaii at his house, I met Kid Cudi, I met Rick Ross, I met John Legend,\u201d he said of his Watch The Throne<\/em> contribution. \u201cI laid like eight beats down and we just narrowed it down to one.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sample in \u2018The Joy\u2019 was an old Curtis Mayfield song that people loved in the \u201970s. It was so defining in my household growing up. I remembered it and said, \u2018You know what? I\u2019m gonna try something with this.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI had that beat made for a long<\/em> time. Played it for Kanye one day and he murdered it\u2026 then he put JAY-Z on it!\u201d<\/p>\n
