Legendary hip-hop producer and one half of Gang Starr DJ Premier has announced details of his new compilation album, Get Used To Us. The new record is due to drop on December 7th via Premier’s own Year Round Records. It marks a positive end to what has at times been a very difficult year for the Brooklyn-based Texan.
Back in April, Premier, aka Christopher Martin, had to deal with the death of long-time friend and Gang Starr collaborator Guru and the subsequent controversy that followed thanks to statements made by John “Solar” Mosher (Guru’s then most recent producer) and alleged letters written by Guru. On a more positive note, Premier is also providing beats for a couple of tracks on the new Kanye West album.
Turning to the new album, the 15-track Year Round Records compilation will feature a slew of Premier-produced tracks. Confirmed artists include Blaq Poet, Nick Javas, and NYG’z, as well as longtime collaborators Freddie Foxxx (aka Bumpy Knuckles), Royce da 5’9″, and Lady of Rage. Also appearing are MC Eiht, Teflon, Grand Puba, Styles P, Saigon, Joell Ortiz, and others. No confirmed running order is available yet, but the tracklisting with as much detail as we have can be found below (via DJ Premier Blog).
