DJ Premier on Channel 10

DJ Premier recorded with Capone-N-Noreaga in october a new song called “Grand Loyal“. It’s for their next LP “Channel 10” that will be released in early 2009. The song became after Blaq Poet wanted Noreaga on his “Tha Blaqprint” album (on the song “Hey“). In exchange DJ Premier recorded with Capone-N-Noreaga. Maybe a new classic like we all remember “Invincible“!

Oh, and the beat that was used for that track is a rejected beat by Rakim.

PREEMISH: Ghettosocks – Suck It Up

To keep this blog alive I’ll also post stuff when I feel to it that is close to preem. We all like that raw boombap sound of Premier that made him famous in our hip hop world. But there are also other producers that can make such sound, like Alchemist for example. But I’m not going to post Alchemist joints, I’m going to keep it more on an underground level. Also notice a lot of the tracks will not only be from the US. So…

!! IF THERE IS THE WORD “PREEMISH” IN FRONT OF THE POST TITLE MEANS THAT IT’S NOT PRODUCED BY DJ PREMIER !!

Here is a canadian MC with also producer and scratching skills. This track was from his debut album “Get Some Friends” back in 2006 that was only released in Canada. The producer is himself and he also did the cuts on this one. It’s featured by Mr. Bix.

Enjoy and try to support this artist (he got more this type of beats).

Les Négresses Vertes – Voilà l’ Été (Gang Starr Remix)

Update Update Update! To keep it simple on this boring track: It is not produced by DJ Premier! Now to keep it funny: It is produced by Guru! Found this in my libary and this is what it says on the small notes: “Remixe Par Le Guru Pour Guru Productions Inc”.

Maroon 5 – Secret (DJ Premier Remix) (Snippet)

I just found the snippet today for the Premier remix for Maroon 5:

Enjoy!

Lord Finesse – Keep The Crowd Listening (DJ Premier Remix) VLS


Finally, we got a vinyl single for the remix that was leaked since 2006! The remix was originally made for a remix project, Lord Finesse and others where going to remix the legendary “The Funky Technician” LP. Don’t get me wrong, the remix project still excists, but is only delayed for 4 years. It’s sheduled for 2010 when they can celebrate the 20 year anniversary!

The other problem is, the single isn’t really a commercial release. It will only be pressed 200 times and you can only buy it when you buy two copies of Lord Finesse – Rare Selections EP Vol. 3 (that is pressed 300 times). Another problem is one copy cost about $80… They say it’s for the real diggers, I say it’s for the rich bastards…

Well, the single will be in my hands some day 🙂 You can count on that! It also contains a Large Pro remix!

Blaq Poet – Too Strong

This track is already ripped for a week by me, but now I’m starting a blog I can post it right here for you guys. It’s ripped from LiveFromHQ where preem told me (yeah, personally – how tuff) it’s the B-Side of the newest single for Blaq Poet‘s upcomming album (out in january) called ‘The Blaqprint’. The first single is called ‘Ain’t Nuttin’ Changed’ and is already on his latest mixtape. Ok, this is the B-Side for that single! So people that don’t buy vinyl are unlucky and lucky in a way (hihi), enjoy:
