Pete Rock
Artist: Pete Rock, Monalisa
Venue: Scribble (L.A.)
Date: 2/4/26
Monalisa opened the night with a J Dilla tribute set that set the tone immediately — a reminder of the lineage before the legend himself took the stage. By the time Pete Rock stepped up to the decks, Lodge Room was sold out and ready.
What followed was less a concert and more a full celebration of hip hop history. One of the greatest producers of all time, Pete Rock spent the better part of three decades merging jazz into the DNA of hip hop, working alongside Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G. and dozens more. At Lodge Room, you felt all of that history in the room. The crowd was a party from the first beat, moving and celebrating the kind of music that doesn't age because it was never chasing a moment to begin with.
