Pete Rock says: “I’m gearing up for the release of “Petestrumentals 2” with Mello Music Group. The first single “One, Two, A Few More” is actually a beat I made in 1995 and just sat on for years for the right moment. Now, I get a chance to release this and more new & unreleased music never heard by my fans with Mello. This instrumental LP will inspire the masses in anything you are doing. Just apply P2 to it and get on the road to success.”

L'Orange - The Difference (feat. Blu & Elzhi)

Backwoodz Studioz is proud to announce the upcoming release of Henry Canyons' first full-length LP exclusively under the Backwoodz umbrella. The Cool Side is entirely produced by Henry’s longtime collaborator, Bones, with guest features from billy woods and Homeboy Sandman. It’s a project that finds Henry putting his effortless flows to the test over Bones’ rangy production, flipping new styles with every changeup and beat switch.

“Cool Side didn’t start as an album,” Henry explains, “Bones and I started making random joints that were almost all jazz/funk samples; I’d send him sample ideas and he would send me back a beat the next day”. It was a fun thing that they talked about making into an EP, but was briefly shelved when Henry accepted an artists’ residency in Biarritz, France in the fall of 2016. 

After the residency was completed, Henry returned to the project with new perspective. “I was still in France, and in a different place mentally, physically and emotionally. Also Bones’ production had taken a darker, more pensive turn.  What came out were reactions to being abroad and isolated during a time of upheaval at home”

Bones admits that he stepped outside his own comfort zone in order to full realize Henry’s vision. “Most of my own production has more of a pop orientation. Generally, I'm into layers and harmonies and catchy hooks. But with Henry I actively tried to stray away from that,” he remembers .  

This duality frames The Cool Side both artistically, and in it’s presentation. Side A and Side B reflects not just the sides of the vinyl, but the tensions between past and present, between the ideal and the real.  While you may recognize Henry from his stellar features on albums by Backwoodz fixtures billy woods (Today, I Wrote Nothing)  and Willie Green (Doc Savage), The Cool Side of the Pillow finds Henry Canyons in a milieux all his own.
