Pete Rock…Welcome To Manchester Mixtape Download – DJ Lee Majors

Manchester’s DJ Lee Majors has put together this extensive tribute mix to one of Hip-Hop’s greatest producers in celebration of Soul Brother #1′s forthcoming UK tour - download here.

Words From Lee Majors:

“In anticipation of Pete Rock’s forthcoming visit to my home city of Manchester
UK I have put together this mixtape featuring 40+ Pete Rock tracks/productions, all mixed and selected carefully – trying not to stick with the too obvious and pushing more of my personal favourites to give the project a more individual flavour. The cover is a reference to the infamous Carlos Tevez “Welcome To Manchester” billboard that was produced by Manchester City football club following his arrival from bitter rivals Manchester United in the Summer of ’09. Ironically Tevez has now just expressed his desire to leave Man City. The @chocboywunda is performing at Manchester’s illustrious Band On The Wallmusic venue alongside Jazz/Soul legend Roy Ayers on both the 17th and 18th of July.”
