DJ PREMIER
LIVE FROM HEADQCOURTERZ RADIO SHOW
JUNE 5, 2018
GUEST DJ: DJ FINESSE
Chris Rivers takes a break from hijacking instrumentals of current songs and goes all the way back to 1994 to pounce on Notorious B.I.G.’s “Gimme The Loot” instrumental for “Gimme the Boost.”
Fresh off of the “Bobby Tarantino II” mixtape, Logic cruises in a BMW full of cash and talks his shit in the video for “Contra.”
Producer/emcee Twan Mack has released a video for his new single “Can’t Quit” featuring IshDarr. For the uninitiated, the Milwaukee producer has worked with the likes of Stricklin (eMC), Speech of Arrested Development and Shaquille O’Neill, among others.
“Initially when I made the beat, I just laid down one verse as a reference which was talking about lessons I learned in the industry and in hindsight,” Twan Mack said to PWH. “My engineer was managing ishDARR at the time and played him the reference track and next thing I know I got a call saying he would be down to collaborate on the track. I know that older heads have problems with a lot of the directions hip-hop is going in today but cats like ishDARR have that same love that we do, to the end.”
Rapsody lends the lyrical assist to UK singer Moss Kena on “Problems,” which also features THEY.
