Producer Pete Rock Tweets Childhood Photos In Remembrance of Heavy D

Earlier today @PeteRock released a few old school pictures on Twitter from an era long before the fame and accolades that both he and Heavy D received in hip hop. Pete Rock and Heavy D were cousins and Heavy D was the vessel for Pete Rock's entry into the music industry. The above are just a peek into their past as children. Big up to Pete for sharing these!

Brooklyn Bodega, producers of the 6th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (BHF) announced today that legendary producers DJ Premier and Pete Rock will be joining The Large Professor for a special DJ set at BHF '10 Show and Prove Super Bowl.

Description: Previously only done in Japan, for the first time ever, fans in the United States have the opportunity to see three of the greatest producers in Hip-Hop rocking the same stage. Brooklyn Bodega and YUME Music have partnered up to showcase this "Unforgettable Set" as the headlining act of its Show & Prove Superbowl where six aspiring Hip-Hop artists compete for two slots that open the stage at the Main Day of the Festival, Saturday, July 10th.

Show & Prove Superbowl Finalists are: Kalae All Day, St. Joe Louis, Poetic Republic, The Crowd, Mikeflo and Ashy L. Bowz.

Kalae All Day is a definite favorite and of course I am also rooting for Randy Mason and his group THE CROWD. Both have been featured here on this site and podcast.
