“This record is a collaborative between myself and experimental, proto-new wave musician Gary Wilson(Stones Throw). It’s rare that you get the opportunity to work with the actual artist rather than just sampling the record.
Gary opened his vaults and provided ample soundscapes. Some of these instrumentals dating back to 1973 may have been heard before. Others may not. The ending result is a pure creative expression and meshes Hip Hop, Psychedelic, Jazz, Funk…
Killer Mike and El-P are the Stroker and Hoop of rap music. A couple of burned out private detectives itching for a fight with anyone who’s making noise. Their turn on the Combat Jack TV Show deserves more than the 30 minutes you are gonna watch below.
Mike and El are also a supergroup now called ‘Run The Jewels‘.
DJ Premier stopped by the Combat Jack TV show and brought me back to the days when Hip-Hop was so beautiful for me. It’s crazy to think we sat with someone who’s music DEFINES a genre. While Guru (R.I.P.) wasn’t the greatest emcee he was the perfect complement to Premier’s soundscape.
Take a ride down memory lane with me for a moment and you’ll agree with me that DJ Premier needs to be placed on rap music’s Mount Rushmore.
