Following his release Don’t Pass Trump The Blunt in May, Harlem rapper Smoke DZA linked up with esteemed producer Pete Rock to highlight New York City’s gritty hip-hop sound with their joint project Don’t Smoke Rock, dropping Dec. 2 via Babygrande Records.
“My producer wish list is very small,” Smoke DZA tells Billboardover email. “Pete is a legend and I’ve always wanted to create a complete body of work with him. It’s been an honor to do so with Don’t Smoke Rock.” For the set, DZA also wanted to focus on the vibes of “old Harlem — before it was a Chase Bank and Starbucks on every corner. Before gentrification.”
