Miguel – “2 Lovin U†(Prod. By DJ Premier) [Video]
March 14, 2017
Man hellyeah, HELLYEAH! Miguel and DJ Premier HAD to do a video for that “2 Lovin U†banger! Straightforward shooting in its approach and its messaging. Not subtle at all. It’s like if Michael Jackson (RIP) consulted on the video and said put some it don’t matter if it’s “Black Or White” (or gay or straight or Muslim…) in there. Get into this and groove with it. You KNOW you want to!

Who knew about this and when??? Talking about “The King & I” by Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G. Yeah, Biggie!

Well, how about taking a look at the BTS video with the first all-star add to the team, Jadakiss.

Miguel – “2 Lovin U” (Prod. By DJ Premier)
February 23, 2017
Wowwww…DJ Premier is an executive producer of VH1’s “The Breaks†series AND he is scoring the entire series. BANGING!!
Oh, okay, this post is supposed to be about Miguel on the Preemo-produced “2 Lovin U” song. And how do we know it’s a track by Preemo? It’s the signature scratching baby. You hear those ‘damn’ samples scratched into the hook? Well, the rough, eventually shelved, early version of this song was called “Damned.” So, naturally, Preem scratched the ‘damn’ thing the f**k up like you know he do!
They decided to keep that element. Dope music was the result. Nice collaboration!

Busta Rhymes – “Grinch 2000” feat. Jim Carrey (Prod. By DJ Premier)
December 28, 2016
Ha! This is fun! Busta Rhymes this “Grinch 2000” for the “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” soundtrack back in 2000. Even got a feature on it from the film’s star, Jim Carrey. Produced by DJ Premier to boot. So how could this have not made it onto the final release? Who knows? But now it gets dropped, and appreciated. Happy Holidays!

DJ Premier On The State Of New York Rap (Video)
December 10, 2016
Preemo ONLY plays the bangers! That’s his lane, and it is not for the wack. And he is DEFINITELY qualified to be a gatekeeper for real Hip-Hop. To be clear, DJ Premier is not hating on that artist you like, but if he or she is wack… Oh well.
That sounds harsh. Preem explains it better. How he has always been, what he is into nowadays and more in the sit-down above.
A documentary with Jay Z and Nas is in the works, and DJ Premier also has a solo album—‘Last Session at 320’—on the way. He also discusses Desiigner, Dave East, Young M.A., and how he’s stayed relevant for multiple decades.

DJ Premier – “Tiimmy Turner” (Preemix)
August 31, 2016
Okay, so a significant portion of the blog-o-sphere considers this rehash of Desiigner’s “Tiimmy Turner” a ‘shots fired’ situation…the shots being let off by the legend that did the joint, DJ Premier. Listen for yourself, and make up your own mind. But the track bangs (with that “Twilight Zone” rip in there). And dropping in that South Park sample, “TIMMY!” Well, that’s just… dope!! Haaaa!

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.
