DJ Khaled – “Hip Hop” feat. Scarface x Nas x DJ Premier (Produced By Justice League)
August 10, 2012
This banger right here will arguably be the most talked about track on DJ Khaled’s upcoming album ‘Kiss The Ring’. I’ve dug a few songs here & there that DJ Khaled has orchestrated in the past, but this joint right here with Nas, Scarface, DJ Premier, & The Justice League is just straight bananas! Scarface’s vocal presence is perfect, Nas’s lyrical lamentations about hip hop are priceless, The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. Leagues sonic production feels like a grand event, & DJ Premier’s perfectly placed scratching on the track is the cherry on top of this ill grand production right here. You don’t always have to be a producer that touches hundreds of buttons to put together quality work, but DJ Khaled proves with this joint that sometimes having a grand vision is all it takes. Check out the behind the scenes video of how it all came together HERE

Behind The Scenes: The Making Of ‘Hip Hop’ With Nas x Scarface x Justice League x DJ Premier (Video)
August 10, 2012
DJ Khaled’s new album ‘Kiss The Ring’ is on the way, but the track that everyone is talking about is the collaboration he orchestrated with Nas, Scarface, DJ Premier, & the production team Justice League. When I first heard this song I knew it was a definite banger! I’ve often said that sometimes being a good producer doesn’t always involve touching a lot of buttons & equipment, but people who have a great vision can score big. Rick Rubin is a producer who doesn’t play any instruments, but he has great vision & a good ear. Props to DJ Khaled for having the vision for this banger right here. Check the video….

DJ Premier – Black Fist Friday Mix on Hot 97 NYC (2/17/12)
February 17, 2012
I saw massive amounts of people tweeting about DJ Premier rocking on Hot 97 in NYC at noon for their Black Fist Friday series in celebration of Black History month. At the time I wasn’t in a position to listen in live & as a matter of fact I still haven’t gotten around to fully listening to the mix that Questlove did in honor of J Dilla last week, but I’ll get to that eventually this weekend. After a few hours I noticed DJPremierBlog had it up on Primo’s site as well as MissInfo who works at the station. Had to download it & peep it once I had time like now…. I like how DJ Premier started things off with Jeru Tha Damaja’s underground classic “Frustrated N*gga”. Dopeness…
