Ski beats is one of these producers that constantly evolves. He not only survived the end of the Golden Era and the demise of Roc-A-Fella Records, but maintained active and transcent praduction techniques and tradition into his newest projects. Perhaps, old school hip-hop fans know him mostly for his work with Jay-Z and instrumentals such as "In my Life Time", "Dead Presidents II" and "Streets is Watching", but most recently Ski has worked with current lyrical monsters such as Royce Da 5'9, Smoke Dza, Action Bronson, Murs, Ras Kass and Mos Def. To check some of his instrumentals check my beat mix, for more check my youtube channel...

Arguably, Pete Rock (aka The Soul Brother) build a name for himself through his dope collaborations with CL Smooth in 3 amazing golden era hip-hop albums. He is one of those producers who evolved from heavy low-end boombap beats produced on the E-mu SP-1200 to more complicated soulful, jazz sample flips done on the AKAI MPC.

 Some of the names that Pete Rock produced for include Nas, Rakim, AZ, Redman,Raekwon, Freddie Foxxx, Phife Dawg, Ed O.G. and one of his most recent placement included a beat for Kaney West and Jay-Z on "Watch The Throne" - "The Joy".

Next to DJ Premier, Large Pro and Q-Tip, Pete Rock is one of the names that took part in producing Nas' legendary debut album "illmatic"....
