A Dedication To Pete
Rock
Hip-Hop legend Edo.G teams up with his
apprentices G. Dot & Born, Boston natives, to shine light on their story
and style while also providing their own sound. All production is handled by Confidence,
who's claim to fame includes "Rashad and Confidence" and "Purpose and Confidence" on Ill
Adrenaline Records and he produced seven tracks on Neek the Exotic’s “Hustle Don’t Stop” LP from
2012.
The LP is fourteen tracks deep with Gdot & Born
handling about half the duties on the mic, with the remaining tracks being
handled by Edo.G, providing listeners with a nice diversity; while Confidence
keeps a steady stream of that authentic Hip-Hop he is known for
throughout.
Confidence, a student of the game dating
back to the 90’s, first got a taste of music production in the mid 90′s while
learning to DJ with his brother Technic.
His break didn't come until 2001 when he copped an MPC 2000xl which he
still uses to this day to compose masterpieces.
G. Dot & Born relay the struggle of
survival in the streets with hard-hitting raw lyrics, traditional gritty street
beats and a confident delivery that takes Hip-Hop back to its essence. G. Dot
and Born stay true to the city of Boston that raised them and 90’s Hip Hop
influences like J. Dilla, Sean P., Big Pun, Edo G., Kool G. Rap, AZ and Nas by
embodying a humble braggadocio that only real life experiences teach you.
Today, the group offers up a tribute song, “Living
Legend,” dedicated to the one and only Pete Rock, featuring Pete’s former INI
cohorts Grap Luva (Pete’s brother), Rob-O & EDO.G.
