Pete Rock, Smif N Wessun: "Roses" F. Freeway
We might have just heard "Feel Me" yesterday, but that doesn't mean Pete Rock and Smif N Wessun are about to slow their promotional roll for Monumental, which drops next week. They have just released a new leak, "Roses," that pairs up the New York City rap stalwarts with grizzly Philadelphia spitter Freeway. Call it a NYC-Philly connection if you want; I'm just going to call it gutter-rap done right. Pete Rock's drums on here are perfectly dusty and provide a minimalist backdrop for the verses. That is, of course, before "Roses" erupts into a huge, vocal sample-led chorus that could help the track find its way onto late-night radio. Disagree? Listen again, damn it.
Stream the track below. Monumental drops June 28.
