It's hard to say exactly what I find so compelling about Cool Calm Pete - his slow, atonal delivery would sound more at home with the sizzurp-influenced production of the south than with the beats from New York producers that he usually appears on - but I have yet to hear a track that hasn't benefited from one of his verses. Case in point, Pete puts in some guest vocals for a remix on Brooklyn duo Iller Than Theirs' latest free project, the Wash Rinse Repeat EP (featuring remixes of the Wash Rinse Repeat song that appeared on their debut album), and ends up stealing the show. Check it out:
The song was produced by fellow Brooklynite Doc Strange and is one of three remixes on the Wash Rinse Repeat EP. You can download the EP for free over at radiobelly.com.
