As I sat at the other end of the phone with legendary music producer, DJ Premier, I become immediately engrossed by the explanation of the laundry list of his current and future projects. Before Premier could finish the story behind a specific collaboration, he quickly recalls a conversation or two about producing for a singer in the pop world, a Southern rapper, and a vocalist big in the UK garage scene. He\u2019s conducted a symphony (literally), constructed beats and melodies for some of the industry\u2019s biggest names in hip hop, pop, R&B, and hybrid genres. One minute he\u2019s remixing a Disclosure record and the next minute he\u2019s involved with production for artists on his label, Year Round Records. During the course of the conversation he speaks of producing for Year Round Records\u2019 artists NYGz (Hustlaz Union: Local NYG album later this year), Lady Rage from Death Row Records (Queen Kong due out this year), Houston-based rapper Khaleel, Wale, Christina Aguilera, Miguel (\u201cDamned\u201d), Kendrick Lamar, Slaughterhouse (\u201cY\u2019all Ready Know\u201d), and the launch of his new website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
