“I do not like to put my productions on a pedestal since I respect the work of others for my inspiration… But as a fan of hip hop and as a person who respects and lives the culture, I have to be honest based on my taste in the music that I buy, and what I love to blast when I drive around nodding my head to that hardcore shit… I have so many memories of the songs that Big L made when we were in the studio doing the D.I.T.C. sessions… Watching Big L and Showbiz arguing over Malcolm X while we were waiting for Fat Joe to get to the studio to cut vocals for “The Enemy” to name a few… Big L had such a sense of humor reminiscent to Biggie… They were both naturals at being funny and making you laugh non stop without trying to be… I miss them both since I knew them personally and witnessed greatness in my lifetime of recording music professionally… Shouts to his brother Big Don, and R.I.P. to his mother “Pinky” and his brother “Big Lee”… Also shout to Rich King… Flamboyant for life…” –DJ Premier

MC Eiht is getting ready for his next solo album. His last solo album “Affiliated” was realesed almost 4 years ago on Paid in Full Entertainment. His next album will be executive produced by DJ Premier (who he recently worked with for the remix of Blaq Poets leading single for “The Blaqprint) on Preems own label Year Round Records. The upcoming album “Which Way Is West” is set to drop in late summer, first details is that Marco Polo is getting in to produce some beats, and that NYGz will be featured on the album. Together with DJ Premier and some other unknown producers he should bring MC Eiht back on the spot where he belongs.

R.I.P. to Johnny Dankworth. Most of you know why I post this… He died at a age of 82. Much respect to the younger generation who recognize this unique artist. Also happy birthday to Jay Dee (in all honestly, I played this year more Jay Dee then DJ Premier I think). Good day to think about life.
