DJ Premier has been fairly active this year for his standards. He is not one to release a lot of material period. But for some reason he has been extra generous this time around. He has put out a project and several singles.
The Houston, Texas producer continued his series of Beats That Collected Dust with the third volume. On the singles side of things, he has worked with some underground names and more mainstream artists too. Namely, he teamed up with Westside Gunna and Rome Streetz on "Runway." This time, he is back, but with a rerelease of song from 21 years ago.

Quotable Lyrics:
If I say rock star, I'm talking about rocking the mic
My s***'s hot like the rock a fiend drop in a pipe
These cats is idiots, with raps so p***y they catch periods
I'm serious, my life is like a drug experience
A p**no movie with no plot and I'm the only guy in it
Like Vivid videos with Kobe Tai dime b*****s
