Bumpy Knuckles - Amerikkkan Black Man

Last we heard a new Bumpy Knuckles DJ Premier collabo was back in 2006, that's three years ago!! Too long, so I decided to ask on Freddie's radio show if he has some exclusive Premo shit. And this is what I could record, but he has more, he has some more of this... This track is probably recorded in 2006/07 for his upcoming album "American Black Man", the song is also called "Amerikkkan Black Man". So enjoy and hopefully we can hear more in the future, he and Preem are the original O.G.'s!! FONKY!

Grand Royal Snippet

Oh no, the new tracks are floating like my dice on ice. Remember when I said DJ Premier recorded in the studio a track with Capone-N-Noreaga last year for their upcoming album? That track was first called "Invincible Pt. II" but Premo changed it too "Grand Royal". I was waiting on this track, and now their is a snippet avaible (off "Channel 10", coming march 17th):

I had a little fun with copy past, I copied all the thoughts on the DJ Premier produced tracks for y'all, enjoy:

Blaq Poet - Rap Addiction

NEW PREMO FIRE YES SIR, first of all: I listen to LiveFromHQ now for two months without any new joints, I couldn't listen for one time and BAM, new DJ Premier song. Second, I get almost fifty mails of people who want to hear the joint as quick as possible, didn't knew this blog was that famous! Even have a couple aggressive mails too looool. But like I promised, I have it!

And what can I say, the song is fire. The sample is hardcore as usual with three hardcore rappers: Blaq Poet, Lil' Fame and Shabeeno (of NYGz). Hip Hop will have his eyes open when "Tha Blaqprint" drops, that's for sure now. Enjoy, DJPremierBlog, how we always do it I guess, shout out to DJ Premier:

Gang Starr Homage

Here is a dope track by C-Rayz Walz with Swave Sevah doing a homage to Gang Starr and DJ Premier. It's from his upcoming album "Who The Fuck Are You?" on Kings Link Records. I think it's time of the year to do homages. Preems 'homages' were always great, "Pop Shots", "Big L Intro" and many more...

C-Rayz Walz - The Family Crest (Feat. Swave Sevah)

Lamont Coleman (May 30, 1974 - February 15, 1999), also known by his stage name Big L, was an American rapper.

Big L was shot and killed in Harlem on the night of February 15, 1999. Gerard Woodley, a childhood friend of Big L, was arrested in May for the crime. At the time of his death, L had two brothers in prison. "It's a good possibility it was retaliation for something Big L's brother did, or Woodley believed he had done," said Lt. Ellen Caniglia, spokesperson for the NYPD. Woodley was later released and the murder remains unsolved.

50 Cent Beat Update 2

Here you have the middle man Sha Money XL talking about it:

These are people who I appreciate, and the music and the legacy that they're leavin' with us, and creating it for us as Hip Hop. It's not like they're asking to see some Pop producer that ain't really Hip Hop. Pete Rock, DJ Premier, that's the best it gets. I love that part. [...] That was single-handedly me. 50 Cent passed on the beat the first time. I re-sent it to 50's engineer, Ky Miller and he played it again for 50 while 50 was in the studio. He got it this time; 50 got it. All of a sudden, 'Shut Your Bloodclot Mouth' is everywhere, all over the Internet. He killed it! I called him and said, '50, you've got to finish this record. This shit is crazy.' There's certain records you get calls on, 'cause you can feel the energy. That was one record, that I told him was big. He's not into names. He don't care who produces the track. He don't want to sit in the studio with these guys or nothin'; he want to make his record. So when this particular record hit the streets, the feedback was so fuckin' monstrous, it was like, 'Know what Fif? You've got to finish this song.' So we're working on that now. He just wanted to get it out, 'cause he knew Hip Hop really wanted it. He heard it when you asked about it. He heard when Premo talked about the record not being played. He heard everything. So 50 really listens to what people really want. And he went back in and fuckin' in. You know Premo gotta do scratches; it's still a work in progress. He had scratches there, but 50 didn't use them the first time. It's still a work in progress. The song will thus reportedly change before appearing on the upcoming Before I Self Destruct.

No new Premo tracks, but new shit. Bun B sended DJ Premier a track that he is going to remix, it's a slow track. New "Doobie Ashtray"? And he is also going to be on the UGK album. "Tha Blaqprint" is coming very very very soon, it's finished. Hehe. Preem bought chocolate with a special note for his girl and finally, we got some new joints by Statik Selektah! You know I like this producer very much hehe. R.I.P. Lady of Rage's mother.

DJ Premier - 5 Deadly Venoms of Brooklyn 1997

It's very strange that it's very quiet around DJ Premier while his label is going to release a major album for a legendary artist "Tha Blaqprint"... So I decided to upload a new mixtape, this one is also more then ten years old. He didn't do the full mixtape, it's a mixtape where 5 DJ's mixed there part. I will only share Premo's part, other DJ's where: P.F. Cuttin', Mister Cee, Tony Touch and Evil Dee. I noticed Preem is the only DJ who mixed old skool on this tape, like the OST of "Wild Style" wich I still spin. I hope you like it, not so easy to find nowadays! Here you have the tracklist:

1. Grandwizard Theodore & Kenny-Kev Rockwell - Military Cut (1982)
2. Busy Bee vs Kool Moe Dee - Live at The Harlem World (1981)
3. Double Trouble - Live At The Amphitheater L.E.S. (1982)
4. Cold Crush - It's Us (Live 1982)
5. T La Rock - It's Yours (1984)
6. LL Cool J - I Need A Beat (Jazzy Mix 1984)
7. Malcolm McLaren & World Famous Supreme Team - Buffalo Gals (1983)
8. MC Lyte - I Cram To Understand (1986)
9. Divine Force Crew - Holy War (1987)
