2) It hasn’t even been a full year since Twista dropped his latest album, 2010’s The Perfect Storm, and already the Chicago emcee is hard at work on his next project. News broke earlier today that Twista is now currently working on his new album, titled The Dark Horse. According to Fake Shore Drive, Twista is currently in Los Angeles working on The Dark Horse with frequent collaborator and fellow Chi-Town Hip Hop alum the Legendary Traxster. A picture of the two working in the studio on the project can be seen above. Twista also took to Twitter to confirm the news that he has begun work on ninth solo album. He even hinted that he may be looking to work with the legendary DJ Premier on the project. source

3) Show & A.G. are back in the studio! Working together on their upcoming album “Mug Shot Music”. They already leaked one track “Suspended Animation” from the album to get the people warmed up. We all know the home of Show’s productions is at DJ Premier’s studio HeadQCourterz. But now Andre The Giant tweeted that DJ Premier will be executive producing and mixing the new album. Can we hope on a Next Level Pt. 2 or Next Level Pt. 2 (DJ Premier Remix)… Lets see what the future brings!

NYGz – Last Night (Final Version)

Message from DJ Premier:

Here is a freestyle over the classic break beat record “Last Night Changed It All”. I took it back to all live scratching and live overdubs over the programmed drums of the same record to bring the original skills of how DJ’s used to make demos and hip hop in it’s purest form… If you are hip hop, it will make sense… Shouts to all of the pioneers of the culture. We are releasing traditional freestyles each week to save all of the heat from the LP so that we form our own lane…

NYGz – Last Night (Prod. by DJ Premier) (Final Version)

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.
