"I sample only one artist and only used their samples for the entire album".

Legendariska och unisont omtyckta hiphop-producenten Chris “DJ Premier” Martin har de senaste åren släppt enstaka singlar och bidragit med produktion till andra projekt men har lagt sin fulla fokus på ett “hemligt” albumprojekt, skriver HiphopDX.com. Premier samarbetar enligt egen utsago med en enda artist för skivan men som innehåller gästinhopp av Ab-Soul, Mac Miller och Slaughterhouse.

“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.”

Notera dock att denna skiva av allt att döma inte är den omtalade Nas/DJ Premier-skivan som det talats om i flera år. Premier passade på att uppdatera hur status för ett eventuellt Nas-samarbete ser ut i dagsläget:

“This is what Nas told me recently, 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.'”

DJ Premier kommer även bidra till De La Souls kommande EP, där även Pete Rock bidrar med musik.
