Deams – The Legacy Intro (Feat. DJ Premier)

Deams is coming with an EP, and every real hip hop head will know it!! Now as I look to the poll I see a lot of people are between 20-25 years so I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t know Deams immediately. But most of you don’t need the introduction like always hehe. Deams is the first international artist of the Gang Starr Foundation, born and raised in The Netherlands he released a single with his friend Allstar Fresh (who is a very famous DJ over here).

Later he moved to New York city and become Netherlands first MCs in the New York hip hop scene, lived in the same house as DJ Premier, Guru and Jeru the Damaja when they were all making their debut… He got into Zulu Nation thanks to Afrika Bambaata himself and in the Gang Starr Foundation where he got one single, produced by Guru. The single is still considered as an underground classic, the 12inch is still growing in price! For those who wanna know why we didn’t heard more about Deams at that time was because he had to move back to The Netherlands due to difficulties with his green card.


(This is the remix version which isn’t produced by Guru, the woman in the limo is former porn star Heather Hunter)

Now more then ten years later Deams is finally having his debut EP “The Legacy“, you could say he almost did the same struggle as Percee P in a way. The EP has featurings like Jeru the Damaja, Big Daddy Kane, Ice-T, De La Soul and even more. He even got a beat by DJ Premier for his intro, who can say he has a intro by Premo with Preems voice and scratches on it? Man, this shit is going to be crazy. Specially for Europe! Support this shit, if you are going to buy the new Jay-Z album then you need to cop this album too haha. Judge yourself! Enough talk, I would like to thank Deams himself to give me the opportunity to exclusively release this Premo beat on my blog, big up!! Enjoy the fire yourself:

Deams – The Legacy Intro (Feat. DJ Premier) (Prod. by DJ Premier)

You can hear the first single with Big Daddy Kane here. The single will be released on a limited colored 12inch vinyl for the real heads. For more info go to Deamsmusic.com or go follow him on twitter: twitter.com/Deams . You can always ask him questions, he’s a very friendly guy.

THE LEGACY EP COMING 09-09-09!! SUPPORT!!

DJ Premier vs. DJ Scratch in Red Hook

East Coast legends DJ Premier and DJ Scratch faced off on the ones and twos last night (August 18), rocking a crowd of about two thousand strong of all ages and races at Red Hook Park in Brooklyn.

The event was sponsored by the CityParks Foundation in New York City, which has been responsible for a number of outdoor hip-hop shows this summer, including performances by KRS-One, MC Lyte, and Naughty by Nature.

Scratch and Premo kicked it off by cutting up old school funk and soul classics, from The Steve Miller Band’s “Joker” to Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” to Carl Douglas’s “Kung Fu Fighting,” which promptly got Scratch to get in his best Bruce Lee stance. At one point, after Scratch laid down Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour,” holding the crowd in slow-jam rapture, Premo was forced to fall back. With nothing on deck, he excused himself, “I just pulled a Pete Rock—I’m not ready yet,” jokingly referencing friend and the legendary Mt. Vernon beatsmith who was originally slated to battle Preem.

About 45 minutes in, Premo posed to the crowd, “Y’all ready to get into some hip-hop?” launching into Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story.” A few exchanges later, Scratch broke into the famous sing-a-long “Engine Engine Number Nine,” from Black Sheep’s “The Choice is Yours” picking up his table in the palm of his right hand, while continuing to scratch the rest of the line (“Pick It Up!”) repeatedly with his left.

It was Scratch’s show, the true master of turntable theatrics, against Premier, a scratch-heavy producer, but not quite the showman. Yet Scratch paid tribute to his opponent on the evening, spinning such classic beats by the GangStarr producer as “New York State of Mind.” Premo returned the favor, spinning “New York Shit,” among other Scratch beats.

With only minutes to go in the set, Scratch brought out DJ Evil Dee to close it out, as the Black Moon producer and Scratch took turns swapping in and out on the same deck in fluid rotation. When host Danny Castro of the Lyricist Lounge asked the crowd who won the battle, Scratch won most of the praise, but the reception was considerably muted compared to that which was received by the true victor—the crowd.

Somebody knew where Pete Rock was? Doing his garden or his wife?

Billy Danze wants DJ Premier on his debut album

Billy Danze of M.O.P. works on a debut album. While the other half of M.O.P. Lil Fame already has a lot of work as a solo artist, Billy Danze is getting ready for his debut album as a solo artist. Danze, who has released several solo tracks online, is much closer to the release of his own solo project, he says.

“It’s been working, I been getting a lot of good feedback,” he explains. “I got Alchemist on the production, Lil Fame, my man Tommy T. DJ Premier’s gonna slide me some shit in a minute. It ain’t all the way done yet, I’m about halfway done, working on all the features.”

And Lil Fame of M.O.P. also confirmed that DJ Premier will be actually on their upcoming album (out 14th of september).

Also, expect a list of producers set to impress many M.O.P. fans, including work from DJ Premier. Probably with one track.

“We got Statik Selektah. We got me, I’m doing some production. We got DR Period. We also got DJ Premier.” Of Premier, he added that it was a wonderful experience to link back up with the fellow New York vet. “It’s beautiful, man. We tried to get some more from him but we didn’t have time.”

Royce Da 5’9″ – Hood Love (Feat. Bun B) (Mixtape)

Some shitty DJ has released this DJ Premier produced track which isn’t finished yet just to get a rep, made lame. The track itself is too crazy, it could be one of Premo’s hottest tracks this year… Only too bad it’s getting leaked that way, just don’t support that shit. Wiggers are everywere, this DJ should just stayed at kiddy rap… What is the fucking point of yelling ‘Southern Smoke’ all the time, you think we’re deaf or something? Is it a swag? What about Eastern Smoke, is that more dangerous? I specially hate it when their mixtape covers are so photoshop money bitches bling bling insanity, that isn’t the way to get money, stay real. I know what I want, that is some Dutch smoke.

It’s labeled as a Bun B track on the track list, but I think it’s a new track from Royce Da 5’9″ upcoming album “Street Hop“? We don’t know if Bun B is making a new album, but we do know Royce have a couple of more tracks with Preem that aren’t released yet! As I said before, lets wait for a proper release by a legit man!
