Roughly two weeks after producers Dr. Dre and DJ Premier were pictured together in the studio, details on why the two beatsmiths were in the studio together have been revealed. DJ Premier has reportedly lent his assistance on Dr. Dre’s upcoming album, Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre.
News of a collab between Dre and Premier was confirmed thanks to an Instagram post from DJ Rhettmatic. In his post, DJ Rhettmatic spoke on listening to final tracks on Compton, and witnessing a collaboration between DJ Premier and Dr. Dre.
DJ Rhettmatic also confirmed that the collab between the two producers also features vocalist Anderson .Paak.
“2 weeks ago, I finally get to meet the man himself,” DJ Rhettmatic wrote in an Instagram post uploaded yesterday (August 2). “At the studio. It’s crazy because I have a lot of friends that worked with the Doctor but I’ve never met in person. It was surreal. It was really cool to talk to him about DJing & music. It was very kind of him to let me listen to some of the final versions of this upcoming album. And what was even very crazy, is that I got to witness the official producer collabo between the Good Doctor & @djpremier for a song that features the talented @anderson_.paak.”
