We caught up with DJ Premier before Big Shug’s “Triple OGzus” album release party to talk about his work past and present in the industry. We started by going over his relation to Big Shug and how Shug was one of the founding members of Gang Starr. Moving on Premo lets us know more on his history with Boston and how the city embraced him and Gang Starr in the beginning.
We go on to get into his production style and why he keeps with what he has been doing despite what the current trend is. Despite trends Premier has the ability to do whats popular but at this stage of his career he wants to do what he loves and continuously makes him happy. Next up he lets us know more information about his upcoming work scoring a VH1 film about 90’s hiphop called “The Breaks” and how he wants to do more work in that particular field.
