WWW.DJPREMIERBLOG.COM: Mixtape

After many request over this one year from the fans (specially from Europe) asking where they can listen to DJ Premier's show Live From HeadQCourterz broadcasted at Sirius Satellite Radio. It was always the same answer, sign up at Sirius and listen from 4am to 6am (for most of the Europeans). But who the hell does that? And we all know the fanbase in Europe is huge. And now that I got some more free time after busy January I'm going to try this new thing. Lets go... Enjoy! DJ Premier Blog!

UPDATE: Those who want to listen in their car, download here.

DJ Premier - Live On Krupt Mob Radio (17.02.10)

Finally found some time to upload this mix DJ Premier did at Bumpy Knuckles place. He mixed songs he rarely mix of himself, the rnb remixes and so on. The quality is worse but that's how the show is broadcasted, sorry folks! Again a big 2 hour set for y'all, have fun:

J Rock - Unsigned Hype Demo Tape (1990)

Here we have a rip of J Rock's tape he send to Source Magazine in 1990 where he won in december the Unsigned Hype section of the magazine. All tracks were recorded in his bedroom, real hip hop vintage shit! I think this will be the last thing we'll hear from Ghetto Groovz Records, too bad of the lost DATs with Premo productions together with female MC Beverly!

DJ Premier Set on Scratchvision.com

I ripped the whole free show with DJ Premier for y'all but it wasn't easy considering the output quality isn't direct from his mixer. But whatever, he played some exclusive Pete Rock, NYGz and a beat from "Beats That Collected Dust Vol. 2". So he didn't forget about that project. DJ Premier also told us he finished the song "Project Boy" for Joell Ortiz upcoming album "Free Agent" who got a (hopefully) final release date of 23th of february. Also like I said thousand of times, I highly doubt there is going to be a Preem track on Snoop Dogg's next LP. If you believe his leaked 'tracklist' then this should be produced by DJ Premier... Oh yeah, and Panchi said the new NYGz album is still coming this year. I like him. Now try to enjoy the world of Ustream and LiveStream together with Premoooo:

R.I.P. Mr. Magic Tribute Mix

DJ Premier had to do it again, it's terrible! Your favorite rapper got to be a fan of Mr. Magic, making the hip hop radio scene since 1984! Mentioned in well known songs by 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Nas and in Preems produced song "Bang This" by Blaq Poet. For me he is well known by hosting the radio show "Wildstyle Pirate Radio" in the computer game GTA: Vice City. Big respect to Rockstar. The mix includes the beef between Mr. Magic and Public Enemy, excludes the beef with KRS-One with the song "Outta Here (Mr. Magic Diss Version)", enjoy:

Btw, very nice intro tribute from DJ Premier with a unique Preem beat!

R.I.P. Grandmaster Roc Raida Tribute Mix

As we all know about Roc Raida's tragic passing last week, I could only do a tribute on my blog to honor him as a fan. Last night DJ Premier did his part. As a friend and as a pioneer. Of course I couldn't let the people in the dark by not premiering it, so here we have another exclusive on the internet. Premo did his thing and remember this is for free, do not try to bootleg it for cash. I still got the MJ Tribute in the back of my head. Have fun and salute Grandmaster Roc Raida with DJ Premier and Panchi in the next hour, hip hop is life:

DJ Premier - R.I.P. Grandmaster Roc Raida Tribute Mix

Ooooo man, THIS IS DOPE!!! The first Roc Raida produced song is too good.

Moz - Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1

This is something new I'm going to do with this blog. With more then 1500 clicks a day I could promote a lot of things, so why not people I know who should be recognized in my eyes? I really enjoy helping people. And to stay in the lane of hip hop I present to you "Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1" by my man Moz. He is a producer from Croatia who is also a big fan of DJ Premier's work. If I didn't feel his beats I wouldn't post this, it really got that 90s flavor! You rarely see that. With Damu The Fudgemunk in my back head this is a great addition to chill out. Listen yourself:

Moz - Ashtray Beatz Vol. 1

I would appreciate any kind of feedback, what do you think of the beats? Should I post more of this or not? For any MC who wants more information or ask him for something feel free to email him at gani187@hotmail.com or visits his myspace here. He's a very friendly person. And I'm telling you, this guy got loads of beats waiting to be spit on!!

I would like to thank you all for reading and listening!

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.

Premo without the Rapper Mix

I don't really know how to name it, but I made for a lazy sunday a 50minutes(!) mix of all the stuff that DJ Premier used for his intro's, skits, interludes, ... on all sort of albums and tapes. From the days of cassettes to the compact discs. And sadly, some of his intro beats are too hot for an intro YESSIR! Like that intro of "Time 4 Change", I NEED THAT INSTRUMENTAL!! Or that intro of "Holiday Hell", pffffff, crazy!! I'm wondering if Premier is reading this, if so. Maybe he got the message? Lol. DJ Premier is the best, once again gimantalon comes with the prove. The only beats that are excluded are the LiveFromHQ skits and intro, now it's time to reminisce, Preem all dayyyyy:

Gimantalon - Premo without the Rapper Mix

(Sorry, don't have a tracklist (50+ tracks))

And lets go to the next mixtape, maybe BTCD Vol. II?

EDIT: You can find the tracklist here.

DJ Premier & Blaq Poet Live Set

Now we all know DJ Premier and Blaq Poet are touring I thought it would be appropriate to release this live set of them two together last year in Vienna, Austria. The audio comes straight from Preems turntables and Poets mic. It was recorded the 10th of may. When "Tha Blaqprint" wasn't expected yet. I was also informed that the Teflon album is still worked on, he did a new joint with Premo featuring Saigon & Papoose. Enjoy the short live set:

Remix DJ Premier (Tribute) Vol. 1
