DJ Premier — clad in a Cold Crush Brothers tee — discusses his upcoming collaborations and projects, revealing more artists for his album with Pete Rock.
In a recent interview with Splash Mag, DJ Premier spoke briefly on the projects that he may be working on in the future. Among those he mentioned was the storied friendly battle album, DJ Premier vs. Pete Rock, and while discussing the album, he revealed additional guests that he’ll feature on the record.
“Six tracks produced by Pete [Rock], six tracks produced by me,” Premo told the site, explaining the concept behind the record — a friendly battle between two of hip hop’s most esteemed and respected producers.
He went on to reveal two new guests for the album, The Beatnuts and Sheek Louch, who are new additions to the previously-announced inclusion of Wu-Tang’s GZA, who will also make an appearance on the record.
In addition, DJ Premier also gave his opinion on other musicians, including one of rap’s most recent success stories, Tyler, The Creator. The interviewer played him part of the Tyler’s track “Yonkers”, which Premo seemed to recognize instantly. He continued, calling the Odd Future MC, “dope”.
Details about the DJ Premier and Pete Rock release still remain scant, although it does appear that the two are making progress on the record. At this time, an official release date has yet to be announced.
