DJ Premier – Our Streets (Feat. DJ Premier) CDQ

Wow, very nice boom-bap track of DJ Premier. This is probably my favorite of this year, or is it Anti-Hero? Hmmm. Anyway, this release is together with the re-launch of Payday Records!! Yeah, I also had to re-read this twice. Fucking exciting! 😉

More info from Rollingstone.com:

“With Ferg, or anybody I work with, they already know my history so they know that I come from the Nineties era,” Premier said in a statement. “Ferg just automatically said ‘Don’t do what I’ve been doing on my albums – I want you to do a Preemo style and let me show I can rap to that,’ so I was like, ‘let’s do it.’ Everybody was happy off jump – no suggestions, no ‘I think we should go this direction’ – it was an automatic in, out, done, in one day.”

“It’s a dream to be able to work with the legendary Dj Premier on this record,” Ferg adds. “Preemo has worked with all the NYC hip hop icons and greats – Nas, Biggie, Guru, Hov, KRS-One and the Lox. Just knowing I was working with him pushed me as an MC.”
“Our Streets” will appear on Payday Records, which is preparing to re-launch after a long period of dormancy. Payday released DJ Premier’s New York Reality Check 101 compilation and Premier-produced LPs from Jeru the Damaja as well as Jay-Z’s debut solo single, “In My Lifetime.” To commemorate the label’s 25th anniversary, DJ Premier will release four new productions on the label in six-month intervals.
