Vocalist/songwriter Pete Philly and composer/producer Perquisite enjoyed major successes in the music world between 2004 - 2009, and traveled across the globe with their catchy beats and melodious raps. After six years, the duo decided to quit at their peak to focus on their solo careers. But collaborative inspiration struck again: the two were still eager to work together and reunited. Their reunion was announced in 2023, and kicked off with a show at AFAS Live in November of that year.

Pete & Perq reignited their passion for music once again, which led to the eclectic new album Eon. The relatable vibe of Pete Philly & Perquisite, marked by open-minded hip-hop with influences from soul, funk, jazz and electronic music, enthralling solos and unexpected twists, remains intact. The stage of life the duo is now in has given the album a deeper, more meaningful dimension: the title song ‘Eon’ is an ode to Pete’s daughter, ‘Carry You’ is about the relationship he has with his father and ‘Raindrop’ bids farewell to a past stage of life. But the album also features more light-hearted songs, such as the first single ‘Hot Sauce’, ‘Spiffy’ and the latest single ‘My Stereo’, which is an ode to all of their sources of inspiration. With their third album Eon, Pete Philly & Perquisite have presented a celebration of their infinite connection through music.
