DJ Premier & Pete Rock were sitting together for an interview when they had to do their show in Montreal, Canada. A local radio station took their time to both interview them and I have off course the audio of that. They talk about their upcoming projects, their secret project, InI, Guru, who’s the best today in NY, the best places for hip hop outside USA, working with artists outside the USA and they had to define each other style in one word + giving top 3 of each other and some other games… Props to Pete Rock for naming a fucking real top 3 of DJ Premier, damn! Don’t expect their project with 9th Wonder soon, at least next year if you hear what DJ Premier is going to release this year (if he’ll make it). And Preems next European collaboration is with the France group Soulcast, somebody got more info of them? Couldn’t find it. Enjoy:

Rytmus Shooting A Video For “Jediný” Featuring DJ Premier
Slovakian rapper Rytmus who last year did a collaboration with DJ Premier for his album “Kral” is about to shoot a video for the track “Jediný” featuring the one and only DJ Premier. I think Rytmus is now officially the first European artist who has a video clip produced and featured Premo, hands down! The video shoot will take place at Hip Hop Jam 2010, a Czech Republic hip hop festival programmed in July, where both artists are on the program! Premo recently played the track again on his radio show LiveFromHQ. Be on the look out!

Khaleel – Hot Flames
In the same atmosphere that I posted yesterday the release dates of some couple Year Round Records 12inches I was trying to find a blogpost to this track by Khaleel. But I couldn’t found one, so why not make one? This track is produced by DJ Premier off course and is featured Texas youngster Khaleel signed to Year Round Records. His album “My MC Name Is…” should drop after Nick Javas album in a couple of years (first names on that list are Marco Polo, Panchi, Nick Javas and Showbiz). But the first single of Khaleel is about to drop on July 12th, 2010 with “Hot Flames” on the A-Side and on the B-Side we have a new unreleased track “Aalllllready”. I’m excited about that one!
“Hot Flames” was original named “You Can’t Tell Me Shit”, later on I’ve heard the name “Can’t Tell Me” but last year DJ Premier told us that the official name of the track is “Hot Flames”. First time I’ve heard the track was in like 2004, now 6 years later we’ll be able to buy it on vinyl! Enjoy:
Here are some new Khaleel tracks from his library (none of them are produced by DJ Premier and they are not featured on the album):
And for those who missed it, another leak:

Damu The Fudgemunk – How It Should Sound
Like you all know, I never expected this site to be so popular (and somehow commercial) on the internet. So from time to time I like to help personal friends to get some popularity because they deserve it! My people are like roaches, those who support the small artist, the artists who work underground whether not trying to get above.
But most of you real heads already know Damu The Fudgemunk. For me he’s simply top 3 of 2000s era hip hop producers. Getting ‘fame’ with Y Society and his popular clip of him playing beats at the park (still with diskettes) in 2008. Giving you a trip back to the 90s! That was not the end, numerous FREE instrumental albums were shared by him online. This man was so fucking real and got so many support behind him by us when he released an LP (on vinyl of course) it was soon out of print and prices ran high, crazy! And that in this decade!
So it’s an honor to promote this man in the further future. Tomorrow he is about to release a new 2 volumed instrumental LP “How It Should Sound”. I don’t know if they are already sold out (I think their are only a couple of copies left) but you can always try to get your copy here or here. I ordered mine on HHV.de were you get a free t shirt with an mpc on it extra. YAY!!
Here you can download the free promo EP.
Now I’m happy: next week I’m going to have the first DJ Premier Blog competition!! What to win?
A copy of “How It Should Sound Vol. 1 & 2”, but that’s not everything. The winner also get a copy of Y Society instrumental album “Travel At Your Own Pace” which is out of print!!! See you next week…
