DJ Premier on Snoop Dogg’s ‘GGN’ Show


 

“All music is good music if it touches your soul. If it don’t touch your soul that means it ain’t meant for you to make it.”

 
The one-and-only DJ Premier was featured on Snoop Dogg’s YouTube show “GGN” this week. The two legends chopped it up about all-things music, including their reverence for classic artists such as James Brown, Marley Marl, and KRS-One. Premo also spoke on the current state of hip-hop and discussed his upcoming projects with Miguel, Royce da 5’9″ and Adrian Younge.

DJ Premier Delivers 60 Minute Mix for Diplo & Friends

DJ Premier
 
It’s currently hip-hop month at BBC Radio 1Xtra and what better way to celebrate than with a mix from the legendary DJ Premier? Well, that’s exactly what Diplo & Friends did last weekend in what the Mad Decent head honcho said was “a long time coming.”
 
Despite what many would expect, the majority of the mix features rock songs from classic artists such as The Doors, Steve Miller, and Heart, followed by 90s favorites from the likes of Alice in Chains and Rage Against the Machine. All of the rock tunes have a groove and Premo cuts and juggles throughout.
 
Of course, there couldn’t be a Premo mix without hip-hop and the New York native made sure to include tracks by artists such as Nas, M.O.P., Joell Ortiz, Showbiz, among others.
 
Stream the full 60 minute session below:
