DJ Premier has announced an upcoming project with an artist he’s yet to disclose.
“I’m doing a project that I can’t mention yet,” Premier says in an interview with Life + Times. “It’s a full album. I just completed it with an artist and we’re gonna announce it in maybe in the next week or two. It’s already done. It features Ab-Soul, Mac Miller, [and] Slaughterhouse is on it.
“That’s all I can really tell you right now,” he adds. “It’s a really unique project. It’s a project where I sample only one artist and only used their samples for the entire album. I strictly just use that one person – took all their samples, broke it into pieces and made my own beats out of it, and scratched it – the whole album. It was gonna be an EP, but it turned into a whole album. It’s gonna have nine tracks on it. It’s a really cool project.”
DJ Premier Addresses Potential Nas Joint Album
DJ Premier has been working with other acts, but many have continued asking the producer about a rumored potential project with Nas.
“This is what Nas told me recently,” Premier says, “and every time that we talk this is what he tells me. He says, ‘Look, I got another new album I got to do on Def Jam and then my contract is over. I’d rather do your album…that’s because we can do whatever we want. There’s no strings. We can just rock out.’ Everybody’s like, ‘When are ya’ll gonna do an album?’ I’m not rushing it and I have other things to do. I don’t even take it personal when he’s like, ‘Yo, I’m working this first.’ Whenever he says that he’s ready, I’m going in. So, that was always my way of looking at it. I never looked at it no other way. I ain’t trippin.'”
In October 2013, DJ Premier spoke about the potential Nas collaborative album.
“It’s coming,” DJ Premier said. “I just saw him last week. It’s coming. He has another project to drop on Def Jam, then he’s a free agent. Let him get that out. It’ll give me time to get my artists ripped and ready. Then we can all tour together or something.”
Why even bother making and releasing this? No one is going to buy this album. No one cares about this old ass dude and his boring beats. People want to hear Noah 40, Mike Will, Mustard Khaled.
Nah son.
Mustard is nice tho. But he fat n ugly butt.
Khalid fell off. Look at that wack ass Jay z colab… Terrible
Premier n Currensy would b dope
@dentaldamboy
you gotta be kiidding me?
dentalfreak, you really have a bad taste in music!
C’mon Preem really mac miller? That’s what we’re stooping to?? The other features ain’t much better, will it take 2 years for this project to drop too?? I love DJ Premier’s work but c’mon Primo drop the NYG’z & Nas album already and stop working with these wack cats!!
DJ Premier fell off musically, his beats are boring and unoriginal in 2014. As a close friend of the best rapper alive Lil Wayne, I can personally confirm that young niggas prefer Mike Will Made It, Noah 40, DJ Mustard and DJ KHALED. swag
Mike Will Mad It fucking sucks!!!!! kill yourself
are you retarded?
DJ Khaled is not a producer, dumb nigga
Swag is for closet homosexuals who like to look at other dudes in tight jeans and tight shirts.
40 should not be listed with those reject producers. 40 is a genius, much like DJ Premier though.
I think it’s pretty hilarious that he listed the same producers dentaldamboy did below. Really makes me wonder if they’re the same person.
^ Haha, dentalfreak got exposed.
