ESPN’s Front Row caught up with Royce Da 5’9 and DJ Premier to discuss the collaboration:
How would you describe “Rockin With The Best” with Royce Da 5’9?
DJ P: The title describes us and it describes the competition that goes along with basketball. It’s the attitude that you need, so we wanted this track to carry that vision.
What is it about working with NBA Countdown that prompted you to collaborate again?
DJ P: I’m such a fan of sports and ESPN is the “go to” channel, as soon as I wake up every single morning, in order to get the happenings of the day. It’s a blessing to even have the opportunity to get involved musically with NBA Countdown.

Describe working with DJ Premier.
RD 5’9″: Working with Premier is always an honor no matter how much music we’ve made together in the past. Being recognized for our talents and having the opportunity to work with ESPN and the NBA is next level. You forget the magnitude of your work until your father calls you and says he just heard you on ESPN; that’s when it really hits you!
