Pete Rock & CL Smooth... Soul Brothers


Just like the cover says, all non-album cuts from Soul Brother #1 and the Mecca Don compiled by yours truly. These are b-sides from Pete & CL's singles, songs recorded for soundtracks, a remix, a collaboration with the legendary Run-D.M.C. and all the assorted cuts the duo recorded together after their 1995 breakup.

I tried not to have any overlap with the import only Rare Tracks (read Oh Word's great review here), which is all remixes except for “It’s Not A Game”, which I've included here. Hope you dig it:
1. Shine On Me
2. Back On Da Blocks
3. One In A Million
4. Da Two
5. What's Next On The Menu? (ft. Grover Washington)
6. It's Not A Game
7. We Specialize
8. Climax
9. Family Affair (ft. Mary J Blige)
10. It's A Love Thing (ft. Denosh)
11. Down With The King (ft. Run-D.M.C.)
12. Death Becomes You
13. Appreciate

  10. Hey Ivan. Filesonic has been took down for file sharing. Could you possibly retrieve this yourself (you'll be the only one who can download it) and then reupload it elsewhere? MUCH LOVE!
