This groundbreaking record, that dropped today and brings together 15 tracks that blend past with topics still apropos to today’s society.

Pete Rock and Common invite you all to The Auditorium

“Pete Rock is one of The Greatest Creators Hip Hop and Music has ever seen. It has been a dream of mine to work with him on an album. And once we got together and I was around him and all his records and his MPC I felt the spirit of what I always loved in hip hop, in soul music, and why I wanted to be a part of the artform. His beats, his production, his scratches, took me to a place where I could just MC freely. It felt like I was home.” - Common

Knuckle Dragguz Producer/ Emcee/ Engineer Tali Rodriguez provided all the Production and Owens  created these joints from 2023 til just June this year. 

During that time he launched a New Online Radio Station (that is now streaming 24/7 (WVCC Radio), ended a relationship of 9 years to someone he was sure he was going to marry, had to say goodbye to his 3 Children as they moved back in with their Mother, and left his childhood home of Miami/ Kendall Florida to start the next chapter of his life in Vero Beach FL. It has been an emotionally charged year, full of Peaks and Valleys, which are mostly documented on this new album.

Cuban Pete x BoFaat - The Domino Effect

*Spotify were being dicks so I had to withdraw this track from DSPs and resubmit it

Cuban Pete takes aim at businessmen polluting the musical landscape

Millionaire businessmen and lower level hustlers are now selling big name feature verses from known Hip Hop artists along with their beat packs, saying they are helping out smaller artists who can't afford exclusives or have means to acquire them. The same few verses sold to thousands of rappers with the sales pitch claiming it will give customers a chance to be noticed and make their 'career blow'.

They make a lot of false promises about what is needed to make it in the industry and bank on lesser talented artists wanting to cut corners.

In reality, with no real money for promotion, even the good ones just end up with a few extra clicks and streaming pennies based on the strength of the featured artist's name. Plus of course there's a million wack rappers willing to pretend they have worked with these artists in person and front for social media, normally buying streams to reflect their fake success.

The result is a bunch of, in essence, remixes as a lot of their customers aren't really artists but fans or opportunists who simply add their vocals to the remaining beat. These tracks then flood an already oversaturated streaming market where millions of songs are never streamed even once.

As the legendary Pete Rock claimed recently in a viral post on social media 'getting the bag' has ruined the art form. These packs are nothing to do with art or culture and are merely a way for lower level rappers to monetise and make change off real artists' coattails.
