DJ Premier kicks off the new year by giving us a doubleheader for Episode 46 of “So Wassup” as he delivers the goods on the creation of M.O.P.’s “Rugged Neva Smooth” and “Downtown Swinga.”
Westside Gunn announced that he plans to retire from rapping after 2023. Do we believe him? Who knows. But until that time comes, he’s going to keep delivering bangers to prove that he’s worthy of everyone’s top rapper list. Fresh off of X, Gunn drops the video for “Super Kick Party.”

For the final song on Ab Soul’s remarkable return with Herbert, the Carson, California emcee pairs with the legendary DJ Premier on the verbally vicious “Gotta Rap.” Trademark Preemo cuts and Soulo rhymes? Yeah. A must listen.
The Alchemist gets TDE’s SchoolBoy Q to pounce on a production from his SANDWICH album and the duo delivers with “Clip In A Tray.” With Ab Soul and SZA recently dropping projects, we’re due for a new one from Groovy Q.

Rather than focus on another artist he produced for, DJ Premier takes us back to “Tonz ‘O’ Gunz” from his personal favorite Gang Starr album Hard To Earn. Preemo talks about the mentality behind the song and how he constructed the beat on the 44th episode of “So Wassup?”
This isn’t just filthy, it’s “Disgusting.” With Stu Bangas on the beat, Apathy and Black Thought go ape. From Apathy’s forthcoming album King of Gods No Second album dropping sooner than later.
