It's
only RIGHT I make the first Producer I speak about is Chris Martin AKA DJ
Premier
"Ridin
Shotgun wit Chris Martin my DJ/ Not the white boy but I'm down for the Cold
Play - Royce Da 5'9"
Premier
probably has to be my favorite Producer of ALL TIME! I may be showing my age
but I remember back in the 90's you couldn't hear a Hip Hop album and not have
a Preemo beat on there. The way we hear "Mike Will Made It" or
"Mustard on the beat" and all these popular producers now that's how
Premo was back in the day.
As you should know he was also one half of the Legendary Group "Gangstarr" with Guru (R.I.P). I still remember the first time I really heard Gangstarr was "Moment Of Truth" I then went back more to listen to their previous albums "No More Mr. Nice Guy" "Hard To Earn" "Daily Operation" "Step In The Arena" and then Followed by "The Ownerz" which were all produced entirely by Premo.
Being
from New York he helped create the sound for most of the 90's, which is what I grew up on like most of us. Even up to
today his productions sounds fresh and better than most producers.
When
I first started producing he was one of the main producers I studied and
listened to the most, I tried to mimic his sound(which is impossible) but he
was definitely a huge influence to me on the producing side of things. Lets
get into a few Songs and Samples this legend is well known for.
