DJ Premier Producing The Soundtrack For Upcoming Masta Ace Documentary

Lol, just read a Masta Ace interview that is almost a year old and he said DJ Premier is producing the soundtrack for this upcoming documentary about his life. I didn’t know this, maybe you do, whatever. Always wanted to hear Masta Ace spit on a Preem beat that is on vinyl!

BB: Are you doing a follow up to the Arts & Entertainment joint with Ed O G.?

MA: Probably not a follow up. What I’m working on these days is a DVD documentary that I’m going to start filming this summer that’s going to tell the story of my life and career from my early beginnings to the present. The score is going to be done by DJ Premier. It’s going to be a really ready for TV documentary with interviews from key people that were there. Also, a lot of vintage videos and photos to help tell the story.

Game wanted to make a track with AZ, but it was never recorded. Also the 2nd beat that Game requested from DJ Premier was never recorded. Very curious to hear “Born In Tha Trap” actually!! All the other producers seems unknown to me (excl. dr dre & neptunes)? Btw, the tracklist for the upcoming 9th Wonder album seems promising too!

Mary J. Blige Confirms DJ Premier On Upcoming Album “My Life II: The Journey Continues”

Nearly two decades after releasing her ‘My Life’ album, Mary J. Blige is prepping the follow-up later this year and despite the name, she says the content is totally different.

On ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’ the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul says fans can expect the same passionate vocals that she’s become famous for, but Blige, now 40 years old and married, is more equipped to deal with obstacles that come her way. “I would say I’ve learned that trials and tribulations will continue to stand but the beauty is I know how to deal with navigating [through] them now,” she tells the BoomBox. “As long as you’re living, you’re going to have [to deal with] life.”

While production and writing credits include Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Bangladesh and DJ Premier, Blige says that she will keep guest features light as she narrows down tracks for the final project. “Right now, we don’t have any features except for Fabulous,” she reveals.

The original ‘My Life’ was released in 1994, and featured the hit singles, ‘Be Happy’ and ‘I’m Going Down.’ Executive produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs, the album peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard album charts selling 200,000 copies in its first week.

‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’ hits stores Oct. 4.
