"Mecca And The Soul Brother" from 1992 is hailed by fans and critics as one of the best hip hop albums of the early nineties. Songs like "Lots Of Lovin", "They Reminisce Over You (T. R.O. Y)", "Anger In The Nation" and "If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right" have it all: funky bass riffs, polished production, compelling lyrics and a whole lot of soul

Producer Pete Rock built his beats from obscure R&B, funk and jazz records and CL Smooth added his sometimes philosophical raps. Guest rappers on the album include Grand Puba (of Brand Nubian), Heavy D, Rob-O, Grap & Dida and it reached #7 on the US R&B/Hip Hop chart and #43 on the US Album chart

Pete Rock & C. L. Smooth ended their collaboration in 1995 after finishing the follow-up album "The Main Ingredient". There are rumors that the two will reunite for a new album.
