Funny Or Die: DJ Premier Debuts New Sound

There's no doubt that DJ Premier has crafted some of hip hop's most iconic instrumentals, but nothing he's recorded before compares to these new tracks he has in the works. Premiering some exclusive instrumentals for Royce Da 5'9'', Lady of Rage, and Miguel, the Gang Starr DJ gives us a taste of the new sound that he's pursuing. As Miguel says, it's the kind of stuff you want to hear when naked and wrapped up in cashmere. Hip-hop's been "hard" for a few decades now. Isn't about time the genre went a bit softer? Let us know what you're thinking.
