Kendra Morris – Concrete Waves (DJ Premier 320 Remix)
I’ve only heard a 30 second rip from this track before, I don’t know if you heard more… But this is the full CDQ version of the notorious unreleased Prince Paul mix. Some little background story: When Slick Rick was incarcerated in 1992 he recorded this song with Prince Paul. The song didn’t come out until 1994 but to Prince Paul’s surprise it was remixed by Warren G and Def Jam scrapped his mix. Price Paul was still on the credits with the other composers, but it wasn’t the original version. It looks like something typical Def Jam style. But Slick Rick is the master though, what a unique artist. And together with Prince Paul??!! Damn. Something we miss nowadays, enjoy:
Slick Rick – Behind Bars (Unreleased ’92 Prince Paul Version)
New one from Redefinition Records! This one is called “Supa Heath” which is a nod to the original sources that inspired K-Def’s creation. Incredibly, this beat features no samples… all of the sounds you hear were replayed/reprogrammed masterfully by K-Def himself. This version appears on K-Def’s upcoming “Night Shift” project which will be available in December 2011 on vinyl, cd, cassette & mp3 on Redefinition Records. Night Shift features 2 vocal tracks (INI’s Rob O and Panacea’s Raw Poetic are featured) as well as a handful of covers and original instrumentals. An alternate version of “Supa Heath” track was made available last week on flexi disc vinyl but has since been sold out. Real diggers (like me) know Redef stands for quality releases we need and are hard to find in 2011… very hard! Respect!

DJ Premier’s new Classical remix for RE:GENERATION featuring Nas and the Berklee Symphony Orchestra. Enjoy:
DJ Premier & The Berklee Symphony ā Regeneration (Feat. Nas) (Prod. by DJ Premier & The Berklee Symphony)
DJ Premier was given Classical and began his immersion into the genre with Bruce Adolphe, a former classical music professor at Juilliard. They met at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music not far from DJ Premierās home in NY. After learning about classical music theory, the inspirations of some of the genreās most profound composers and how traditional pieces are structured, DJ Premier went out and bought tons of classical symphonies on vinyl to mash up his own creation. We then took that mash-up and orchestrated it for sheet music. In the first step of the actual recording process, DJ Premier partnered with Stephen Webber, a professor and conductor at the Berklee College of Music. Steven taught Premier how to conduct and helped him in studio with the 58-piece Berklee Symphony Orchestra you hear on the track. Of all the takes, the one you hear is the āwildā version (which means they recorded it without the metronome in their headphones) DJ Premier conducted himself. Then DJ Premier brought that instrumental track back home to NY and Nas laid down his rhyme on top of it.
