Brooklyn hip-hop sounds like it does because of DJ Premier, whose Gang Starr work honed the blend that's now a classic: rough drums and lazy, wandering instrumentals. This set of previously unreleased cuts (from '99-'03) finds the master in his full, hypnotic form.
Undoubtedly one of the most influential and recognized producers of all times, DJ Premier releases Beats That Collected Dust via his own label Year Round Records. First volume in the series, the album features never been released original Primo tracks from 1999 to 2003. Look out for more to come in this series.
