He was good live but I was disappointed he didn't bring his back up singers. A lot of the backup vocals were pre-recorded. And Mos Def wasn't there so it was weird to hear the songs they sing together without him

Pete Rock and CL Smooth, the self-proclaimed Soul Brothers, inundate listeners with the beats of early-1990s-style hip-hop, reuniting for the first time in two years during a one-off performance at Toronto’s Sound Academy. The pair’s history has been marked by separations and reunions. After meeting in grade school, the pair pursued separate musical paths for a time, with Smooth forging rhymes as Rock collected jazz records by Lou Donaldson and Dorothy Ashby. A decade later, Rock’s brassy, cymbal-shaken vinyl samples became the backdrop for Smooth’s confidently delivered lyrics, leading to the release of 1991’s All Souled Out EP.

The album quickly inducted the pair into hip-hop’s elite, a scene that at the time welcomed jazz-rap groups such as A Tribe Called Quest. Although similar in sound to their contemporaries, their Islam-inspired lyrics and pro-education message set them apart. In 1995, after releasing two albums together, the two parted ways as Rock’s career as a producer flourished while Smooth continued to contribute guest rhymes to the nicely appointed spare bedrooms of projects including Rock’s 1998 solo album, Soul Survivor.
