Search - DJ Premier & Mr Thing :: Kings of Hip Hop

Kings Of Hip-Hop, the third release in the "Kings of ?" series, is a two part journey; CD 1 mixed by DJ Premier voyages into the music that helped 'shape' hip-hop into what it has become, and CD 2 mixed by Mr. Thing is a collection of ground-breaking hip-hop tracks. DJ Premier, of the legendary Gang Starr outfit, is one of hip-hop?s most renowned beat makers. Hailing from Brooklyn NY, this master producer has laid tracks for some of the East Coast?s most significant hip-hop albums, such as Nas' Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, Jeru the Damaja's The Sun Rises in the East, and Mos Def's Black on Both Sides. Premier?s mix, CD 1, will consist of tracks that have directly shaped hip-hop, as we know it today. On CD 2, Mr. Thing, World DMC team champion of 1999, and individual UK champion of 2000, brings us a mix of pioneering hip-hop sounds. It features tracks from a range of talent such as ODB, Das EFX, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, De La Soul and many others. Kings of Hip-Hop is about the true old school flavor of hip-hop, the fun, the party ? ear candy for the mind, the body and the soul.
