Hip-hop fans have been waiting a long time to find out what would happen if the beat-making forces of DJ Premier and Pete Rock collided on one album. Soon they're about to find out. DJ Premier recently unveiled some details about how it will be laid out in an interview with ItsBongoBoy.com
Premier, the acclaimed producer that was one half of Gang Starr, will choose six MCs and do six songs. Pete Rock, the acclaimed producer from Pete Rock & CL Smooth, will do the same.
It's "like a friendly battle," said Premier. Each of them can pick either individual MCs or groups, he said.
Rolling Stone magazine named DJ Premier arguably the best producer in hip-hop history. In the past, Premier has been a long-time collaborator with the group M.O.P., and has worked with rappers such as Blaq Poet, KRS One, and recently Kanye West. Pete Rock has worked with rappers ranging from members of Wu Tang to Boston-native EDO G, and recently Kanye West. Those MCs are likely choices for each respective producer.
Premier is working on an album with KRS One that will be a follow-up to 1993's Return of the Boom Bap, and is still waiting to get things going with a compilation album between himself and Nas.
