I november 2019 överraskade legendariska producenten DJ Premier med att släppa det nya GangStarr-albumet “One Of The Best Yet”, trots att Keith “Guru” Elam avled 2011. Albumprojektet bestod av osläppta studioinspelningar med verser som Guru lagt genom årens lopp, över beats skapade av Preemo samt gästinhopp av J. Cole, Talib Kweli, Ne-Yo, Nitty Scott, Q-Tip, Royce 5’9, Big Shug, Freddie Foxxx, Group Home med flera. För Rolling Stone beskriver DJ Premier bakgrunden till ytterligare en postum låt (“Glowing Mics”) som nu ser dagens ljus.

“Since the song ‘Mr. Gang Starr’ was previously released after we hadn’t worked together in so long, I noticed the multitrack session said ‘Mr. Gang Starr (Original Version). The lyrics and the hook are totally different so I gravitated to it and I didn’t want to use the same title and confuse people. My search for scratch ideas landed me across a song I produced for Torae (‘For the Record’) in 2011. The line says ‘I destroy the mic for my glow.’ Instantly ‘Glowing Mic’ became the title simply from hearing that line.”
