The Surviving Elements: From Soul Survivor II Sessions is the second instrumental album from Hip Hop producer Pete Rock. The album features leftover beats that were created during the recording of Pete's 2004 album Soul Survivor II. According to Pete Rock himself, BBE released this album without his permission and neglected to clear the samples used for some of the tracks. Legal action was taken against the label by Pete. The Surviving Elements was re-released on January 13, 2009. Featuring the original 15 album tracks. The track "Placebo" eventually became Northern State's "Time to Rhyme." Two other tracks have been eventually used by other artists - "Hop, Skip & Jump" was used for Aer's "Tell it Straight" while "Midnight and You" was used for Mac Miller's "Thanks for Coming Out".
