DJ PREMIER ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR WITH LIVE BAND

DJ Premier and his live band will head overseas for a 16 date tour that starts on September 2nd in Leipzig, Germany and wraps up on September 19th in Mannheim, Germany. We announced the formation of the band earlier this year along with their June 13th show in New York. Now that the band has a few shows under their belt, it’s time to hit the road.

The band is comprised of DJ Premier (Turntables), Brady Watt (Bass), Lenny “The Ox” Reece (Drums), Takuya Kuroda (Horns and Keys) & Corey King (Trombone and Keys).

Premier explained his desire to bring live instrumentation to his show.

“I’ve always wanted to put a band together because I come from the 70’s when bands were everywhere in all genres,” DJ Premier said. “The only addition is turntables and my voice as the only lead.”

So what is there to expect when the legendary producer hits the stage with a live band? Obviously, it will put a new spin on DJ Premier’s classics. But Preemo says that you can expect more than just DJ Premier classics from the live band.

“We get busy and have so many songs to choose from,” he said. “Not just DJ Premier Productions, all kinds so it’s gonna be a long ride of more greatness.”

Check out the dates below.

NUTSO – MAKE IT HOT

Nutso connects with Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1 for “Make It Hot” off of his Divided Soul EP.

The work of a block boy is never complete. From keeping your clientele stocked, to watching your back, days turn to night, nights turn to years. As a saint up to his neck in sinners, Nutso knows the ebb and flow of the game, and how it’s to be played. The Queens-based spitter has been entrenched in his craft as of late, keeping both the streets and the net in step to his next move. In joining forces with Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1, “Make It Hot,” takes various Biggie samples, courtesy of DJ Supa Dave, for a throwback banger to the days when that NYC sound could be heard in every system from the FDR to the PCH. The visuals, directed by Jay Large of Low Profile Media, opt for a day-to-day affair of the rapper’s hustle and grind, revealing Nutso’s need to deliver an authentic product to his fans. “Make it Hot” is the 2nd video released from Nutso’s ‘Divided Soul’ EP, which is produced entirely by Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1, and available for digital download and compact disc, courtesy of #NoLabelJustUS
