Interesting insights on Preem’s production process and some early history at The Roc (like who was the label’s first signee).

Torii Wolf – “1st†(Prod. By DJ Premier) [Video]
May 18, 2016
Remember that hot Torii Wolf jawn “1st” (produced by DJ Premier) we posted on the other day? You should, or at least go back a freshen up. Good music. And now there’s a visual accompaniment for it. Dope.
Torii Wolf – “1st” (Prod. By DJ Premier)
May 10, 2016
How can DJ Premier bring so much boom and bap to an alternative R&B track? Play this new Torii Wolf, and you’ll find yourself going, “Oh, like THAT!”
Torii Wolf, a singer-songwriter and musician from Wantagh, New York who traded coasts–bouncing around West Coast cities and enhanced herself artistically; shunning categories, confinement, and convention. Torii also just happens to be the first female artist to have her entire project (the forthcoming album entitled “Flow Riiot”) produced by Preemo. “Torii has such a weird, wicked style,†Premier offers. “It’s just very left field—reminiscent of a Bjork or something like that. She is so unique and versatile; she writes, sings and is an accomplished guitarist and drummer. But image-wise, there is no comparison. Subject-wise, Torii is in a whole different place.â€
The versatility Premier hints at is evident on Torii Wolf’s first single, the aptly-titled, “1st,†a war-torn and wistful ode to unrequited love and commitment that ultimately leaves more questions than answers, as she ponders “what does it take to keep you from running away.†Digging into his past catalog, Premier reshuffles the deck on a Rakka Iriscience vocal sample from his “Good As Gone†production from Dilated Peoples’ “Directors Of Photography” album to create another spellbinding scratch-chorus “I’ve seen the last come first, I’ve seen the first last.â€
Hmm. Preemo did an entire album with this girl. That should tell you enough about her pedigree. Respect Torii Wolf and this “1st” you’re listening to.

Macklemore x Lewis – “Buckshot†feat. DJ Premier x KRS-One
February 23, 2016
Stop the presses on every “they ain’t real” story you want to put out on Ben Haggerty (pka Macklemore) & Ryan Lewis. At least for now. Why? This “Buckshot†team up with DJ Premier and KRS-ONE. This has got to be the most awesome olive branch held out to Hip-Hop heads in quite some time. How real is this? Let Preemo speak on it…
Macklemore’s manager reached out to my manager (Ian) and told him that they wanted me to hook up a scratch sequence to tie in the lyrics that Ben wrote. Ryan did the track and we got on the phone to discuss the theme about their younger days running the streets and tagging graffiti. I draw as well so it made total sense! After I sent my parts back, they asked if I knew how to get in touch with Kris (KRS-ONE). I reached out to Kris’ wife and since he is a dope graffiti artist as well, he was the perfect choice and he laced the verse overnight. The whole combination made it a complete jam for the history books.
– DJ Premier
In a word…boom! Take a listen above. You can pre-order “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made” (due out February 26, 2016) below.

Yuna – “Places To Go†(Prod. By DJ Premier)
February 22, 2016
The way it started…was definitely ‘alternative’… then seconds later, BOOM! Producer Preemo drops in with his trademark hook-sample scratches and it’s so on! Check out Malaysian singer Yuna’s “Places To Go†above, and read what she has to say about all this below.
“Places to Go†is a song about when you’re growing into the person that you’re meant to be. Sometimes you go through all these things that will change you as a person and you find it hard to deal with all of these challenges. I was truly honored to work with legendary DJ and producer DJ Premier. I still can’t believe I have a track with Premier. It really is one of the best songs I’ve written in a long time.
Dope! You can pre-order Yuna’s full-length, “Chapters” (due out May 20, 2016), from the Store on her website here.

Papoose – “Hold The City Down” (Prod. By DJ Premier)
October 7, 2015

September 10, 2015
The power of a big band jazz act distilled down to five funky, fired up pieces - DJ Premier and his new band, The BADDER – giving y’all this work: “BPATTER” (the ‘P’ is kinda silent, the way Preemo says it, but not really how he plays it). So, we have Preem on the wheels, Lenny “The Ox” Reece on the skins, Brady Watt on the bass, Mark Williams on the bone, and Takuya Kuroda on the trumpet. Check it out. Nice!
