DJ Premier takes us back to 1997 to explain the story behind the creation of Big Shug’s single “Crush.” Did you know that Big Shug was originally a singer? Preemo takes us through his transition to rapper and how this song came about.
DJ Premier keeps Gang Starr on the front of our minds by dropping the Founders Remix to One of the Best Yet’s “Glowing Mic” that features Big Shug on the flip. The video has the likes of Guru’s son and Spice Adams dropping by to show love.
Brady Watt rocks on the bass and assembles a collection New England’s finest to deliver the video for “Back Around The Way.” Featuring Edo G., Termanology, Statik Selektah, Big Shug, Pleasure Pete, Millyz, Michael Christmas and Sammy Adams, “Back Around The Way” is a certified banger from Watt.
Fresh off of his new album The Diamond Report Big Shug drops his second video from the project in the form of the DJ Premier-produced “EMF” (which stands for Every Mother Fucker). It’s a certified banger.
