“Back in ’95, when I was the resident DJ on a show called The Underground Railroad at the New York radio station WBAI, A Tribe Called Quest and Dilla came by to promote Beats, Rhymes & Life. His music was incredibly unique, and it really caught my attention."

“When he picked me up at the airport, he welcomed me by blasting 'Mecca and the Soul Brother' at full volume. He was genuinely happy that I had come to see him, and I could really feel that. He invited me to his house, and I spent the night in his basement."
- Pete Rock
