För att fira femårsjubileumet för albumet “One Of The Best Yet” får vi idag en ny låt med Gang Starr. På “Finishem” hör vi DJ Premier scratcha in Guru-raden “I’m about to finish ’em, my rep alone could diminish ’em” som refräng, medan den senare bjuder på en vers där han utmanar andra rappare att kliva in i ringen.
“One Of The Best Yet” släpptes 2019 och var duons första album på 16 år. I ett uttalande säger DJ Premier:
“As One Of The Best Yet was approaching the five-year anniversary mark, that milestone moved me to create a new track to match the occasion. The album is special on so many different levels; what it meant to me, Guru’s family, and the fans, it warranted something new to honor the occasion”, säger han och fortsätter:
“I started going through files, looking for something that stood out and fit, and as soon as I heard Guru’s hook ‘now I’m about to finishem, my rep alone could diminish’em’ I knew that was it and went to work crafting a beat for it. I had some unused Antman Wonder files that I decided to check out, and one of the sounds hit me emotionally from the very first note. I knew this was the one to shape the song. The fans always appreciate more Gang Starr—and this one is for them.”
