For episode 2 of DJ Premier’s “So Wassup?” the legendary producer digs back into the story behind creating “Unbelievable” for The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die album. Did you know that Preemo originally turned down Biggie due to time constraints? Fortunately, that didn’t happen and DJ Premier ended up cooking up a memorable classic.

Bo Jackson is on the way as Boldy James and The Alchemist will drop their next piece of art on August 13. With the release right around the corner, the duo give us a double feature with a video for “Turpentine” and “Steel Wool.”
M.O.P. First Family’s own Teflon drops a brand new cut with Jasimoto behind the boards and DJ Premier on the scratches. “Life in the Feds” is all about schooling you to ensure you stay out of prison.
In case you haven’t heard, Nas and Hit-Boy followed up their Grammy award-winning album King’s Disease with the sequel. The recently released album has been garnering high praise on the first day that it’s been heard by the masses. With the drop, Nas unleashes the visuals to “Rare” from the album where the focus is chess.
DJ Premier presents the brand new series: ‘So Wassup?’ a salute to the floppy disk. Throughout this series, DJ Premier explores his most classic productions, and how the technology of the time influenced the sound. In episode 1, DJ Premier talks about how the track “Come Clean”, from Jeru The Damaja, came to be.

You didn’t know you needed a Wale and DJ Premier collaboration, did you? Well, now you have it and there’s no doubt that we need more of this as the duo worked together for a song on Mark Ronson’s “Watch the Sound.” And this is dope.
“The Butcher is coming”… to the NBA Draft. If you tuned in to the NBA Draft last week you may have noticed the intro featured music from Griselda’s very own Benny The Butcher. And now that song “Remember Me” is available for your consumption. Crazy how far those boys from Griselda have come.

Underground Hip Hop” will release On Demand and on digital platforms.Featuring the likes of DJ Premier, Freestyle Fellowship, Jurassic 5, Planet Asia, Talib Kweli, Souls Of Mischief, Dilated Peoples and more, the documentary offers a deep dive into the often-overlooked Los Angeles underground scene.

Every respected independent MC in the nation came through to Club Elements. This documentary chronicles that vibrant time in Los Angeles’ underground Hip Hop scene and shows a side of L.A.’s subculture that is responsible for an independent movement that spawned a slew of widely recognized and celebrated artists.
