DJ Premier has arrived and he’s delivered a few gifts. The legendary DJ and producer has released his latest EP, Hip-Hop 50: Vol. 1. The new release from the Texas native features a number of legends including, Lil’ Wayne, Nas, Slick Rick, Killer Mike, El-P, Remy Ma and Rapsody. Not to mention, Joey Bada$$ offered a new track just days before his latest album is set to be released.
Hip-Hop 50: Vol. 1 is part of a larger project that Nas and the good folks over at Mass Appeal are putting together in celebration of Hip-Hop’s 50th birthday next year. As the date nears, Mass Appeal will enlist the likes of Swizz Beatz, Mustard, The-Dream, Mike Will Made It and several others to put together projects in celebration.
“It’s an honor to kick off this iconic Hip Hop 50 music program,” DJ Premier shared in a press statement.
“Hip-Hop continues to inspire fans across the globe and it’s incredible to think of what the next 50 years will bring.”
Only someone like DJ Premier could put Lil’ Wayne and Slick Rick on the same track. Check out his latest, Hip-Hop 50: Vol. 1, work below.
