Pete Rock Drops Roy Ayers Tribute Mixtape + ‘Roy Ayers & Pete Rock’ Tee

Pete Rock returns with the Roy Ayers Tribute Mixtape and a collector’s tee designed by 503 Collective. Both items pay tribute to the legendary vibraphonist who also happens to be one of the most sampled artists in hip-hop history alongside the godfather, James Brown. The mix includes Roy Ayers‘ original tracks alongside the hip-hop classics that referenced his unmistakable jazz-funk sound. Like the recent tour that originally found the Chocolate Boy Wonder and Roy Ayers rocking stages together around the world, the mixtape and t-shirt are a testament to their similar musical legacies as titans in their chosen fields. The release of these items also coincides with the recent arrival of Okayplayer’s exclusive interview with Roy Ayers. Check the track below listen to the Roy Ayers Tribute Mixtape from Pete Rock.
