Live From HQ Freestyle with Punchlyne & Fokis

On the last Live From HQ were Punchlyne and Fokis guests, and they made a little time for a freestyle. Rhyming over the NYGzPolicy” instrumental they get it in. Also Panchi did a classic line! A special threat for everybody:

DJ Premier – Live From HQ Freestyle (Feat. Punchlyne & Fokis)

It was a busy DJ Premier weekend so there was a buncha said on the show. Read this, there was supposed to be two more Preem joints on the new M.O.P. album. The reason they didn’t got on the album was because of the deadlines. M.O.P. went on tour and KOCH Records (who fucked up the tracklist) had their deadline. Very bad, because it was the banging shit. “What I Wanna Be” was a beat that Lil Fame really want to spit on so Premo gave him the green light, but it was original a beat Preem made in 2006 when J-Dilla died. He wanted to remember J-Dilla on his own way by making a beat that sounded like him. We all know that banging shit needs to come out, just for sake of Hip-Hop. Here you can listen to Premiers own words.

Now a funny thing, DJ Premier said that the next NYGz album -that is changed to a different title, I think it was “Hustlers Union“- is supposed to be finished at the end of september. Also his dream to work with Busta Rhymes could come out, they got in touch for that.

Now an even more funny note is that Premo designed a sneaker! He designed an Air Force One sneaker for a campaign together with DJ AM (R.I.P.). I like to wear Air Force One’s so I’m excited. Not that excited like the collectors, but pretty excited… That’s all folks!!

M.O.P. – What I Wanna B (Feat. Rell)

Here we have it, the new M.O.P. track produced by DJ Premier for their upcoming album “The Foundation“. There was a little confusing in the beginning but now it’s for sure. The problem is that the tracklist on “The Foundation” is wrong. The label fucked that up. Too bad it’s only one song, but this is what we were all waiting for so enjoy:

DJ Premier Reacts On DJ AM Death; He Spoke With DJ AM Less Then 24h Before His Death!! Crazy..

Adam Michael Goldstein (March 30, 1973 – August 28, 2009) was an American club disc jockey better known as DJ AM. Goldstein was a former member of the rock band Crazy Town, and scratched on albums for Papa Roach, Madonna, and Will Smith, among others. He collaborated with Travis Barker of Blink-182 at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and has appeared in several television series.

On September 19, 2008, Goldstein was seriously injured when a Learjet he was traveling in crashed on takeoff. Singer Mandy Moore, with whom he was close, flew to be by his side at the Georgia hospital where he was staying.

Goldstein was found dead at his New York City apartment at around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2009.

Here you have Preems reaction on the death of a good friend who he spoke with two days ago, wtf?!:

Rare DJ Premier Radio Appearances ’98

As a fan of hip hop I have listened to many DJ Premier productions and seen some of his interviews, from reviewing both I think the voice and feel of the music he makes matches the beliefs he stands by in spoken word. His work is inspirational in the importance of discovering and embracing underground hip hop first, because it’s where the true essence of the music, talent and artform is born from. Part of the legacy of Gangstarr to me is their career example of how to stand by your beliefs in life and build upon them towards your own success and freedom of voice, no matter what obstacle or odds may exist that threaten to knock you off your path. I imagine it was no easy process to release consecutive classics on commercial labels the way they did, with albums speaking in rebellion against record companies and the corporate machine that threatens hip hop culture.

Premier has and continues to release gems independently, also bless the radio airwaves with quality material, here are a few I’ve listened to recently. This first one was a visit by him up at Stretch & Bobbito’s show a few months before Moment of Truth was released, Premier was filling in for Stretch on this episode. I remember ’98 as a period of great production output by Premier and a time when independent hip hop releases and artist careers were emerging against the mainstream hip hop machine. I still go back and find songs from this era I like from many unheard-of artists.

Killah Priest stops by to promote his Heavy Mental album and kicks some rhymes for Bobbito, Premier runs through some quality underground hip hop cuts of ’98, such as Neek The Exotic’s “Exotic is Raw”, Tame One and Fatal Hussein’s “Everyday”, N.O.T.S. Click featuring Big L “Work Is Never Done” and a world premiere of “New York Straight Talk”. If you manage to find radio sets by Premier or Pete Rock from this period online, expect to hear quality material spun by them every time.
