While DJ Premier's production resume is long and impressive -- boasting credits from KRS, Biggie, Jay-Z, and the list goes on -- his most memorable work came as one-half the duo known as Gangstarr, alongside Guru.
The legendary producer is ready to work with an artist, exclusively, for a cohesive project. That artist is Nas.
In a recent interview with HardKnock.TV, Premier revealed that he and the Queensbridge hip-hop legend are still planning a joint project together, which they talked about in the past.
"He and I are still going to do the Nas/Premier album. He has other albums to come before it, but we spoke about it so it's still official," the producer said.
Premier has work with the Queenbridge rapper over his career, producing tracks on several of his early albums -- including It Was Written, I Am..., Nastradamus, and Stillmatic.
When their collaborative effort is expected is still unknown.
Also in the interview, Premier talks about the track he produced for the movie "The Sitter", which features Slick Rick; what it was like learning classical music for the Re:Generation project (RegenerationMusicProject.com), where DJs recreate and re-imagine traditional styles of music; and also memories for the late, great Guru.
