DJ PREMIER FORMS LIVE BAND; SET TO DEBUT IN JAPAN
In an interview with XXL, DJ Premier revealed that he has put together a live band and is set to debut his new show in Tokyo and Osaka on January 28, 30 & 31. The band will play revamped versions of Premier produced classics.
“I put a live band together because I’ve always dreamed of being in one ever since I was a kid,” Premier said to XXL. “I have a funky group of players assembled to play my classics and perform new things”
The band consists of the following:
DJ Premier- (Turntables)
Brady Watt- (Bass)
Lenny “The Ox” Reece- (Drums)
Takuya Kuroda- (Horns and Keys)
Corey King- (Trombone and Keys)
“I can play a little drums, bass and guitar but not like these guys, so I will stay on the wheels,” Preemo continued. “In a short four-days of meeting and rehearsing we clicked as if we knew each other for years. This is a new adventure into expanding my brand. I will always DJ, produce and be an artist because that’s what artist’s do. We open new lanes, but never close the lanes that we already opened. Keeping the roots of your foundation in tact is what gives you longevity. Basically what I’m saying is: Let’s Ride!!”

You got my number but if not message me on Facebook. I am about to get some Gangstarr merchandise too.
yeah MASTER PREMIER RESPECT ………………………BLESSINGS
primo i’m happy to know that you’re starting a band… hip hop needs more musicianship like this.. The Roots have filled that void but we need more. hip hop is one of the only music genres that doesn’t involve much real musicianship… We need to step it up and really make this happen… FILL THE VOID!
