Biography

Though he was born in Seoul, South Korea, Cool Calm Pete is dedicated to the hip-hop of Queens, where he spent most of his life (he moved there as a small child). As part of the hip-hop trio Babbletron, Pete made his mark on the scene with his smart, witty rhymes and slow delivery, the same style that was seen on his solo debut, Lost, which came out on Embedded Records in 2005 (and on which Pete takes much of the production duties). The following year Def Jux reissued a European version of Lost, which contained an RJD2-produced bonus track, "Black Friday," among other things. A graduate of Cooper Union with a degree in fine arts (focusing on painting), Pete also worked as a designer for the skateboard company Supreme. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

Definitive Jux - Bio

Cool Calm Pete is an American rapper and producer with a sometimes hypnotically slow, lazy-sounding rapping style. Pete was born in Seoul, Korea and raised in Queens, New York. Pete is one of the three members of the hip-hop group Babbletron. Cool Calm Pete's debut solo album Lost was released in the United States on Embedded Music, and released in Europe on Definitive Jux. He has since released a 9 track EP entitled "Loosies," featuring several remixes of his older work. Cool Calm Pete has been profiled in major publications such as Urb, and XXL. Cool Calm Pete is known to be an avid New York Mets fan, most likely because he was raised in Queens. He can almost always be seen wearing a New York Mets fitted cap. Cool Calm Pete attended Cooper Union and received his BFA in fine art.
