Pete Philly & Perquisite - Mindstate (2005)

Salutations y'all. Today I bring to you a MC and DJ duo out of the Netherlands. And no, I'm not posting this because I'm 1/4 dutch, rather they make incredible music. I now officially claim these as "my people" as opposed to Rob Schneider. Wasn't really working out, y'know? But anyways, based out of Amsterdam, these two formed in 2003, but unfortunately disbanded in 2009.

Perquisite HAS to be one of the most under-appreciated producers I've ever come across, and that's saying something. Along with assembling the track, he is also featured as a cellist and incorporates other instruments such as the guitar and piano to name a few. His beats make you want to sit back and relax, but dance at the same time. From influences from soul, 60's, to classic, he crafts a magical array of beats. Pete Philly is a skilled MC with a rather endearing voice (no homo), but is always on point. His ethnicity will always be a mystery to me, but maybe he's just a really tan Dutch like someone I know. But anyways, below I present to you their debut album, "Mindstate". You'll thank me later.
