Runway
Active since 1987, the year he debuted behind Guru as one-half of Gang Starr, DJ Premier is one of the most crucial figures in hip-hop. No more than three producers (Dr. Dre, RZA, and Prince Paul) can test Premier's status as the most important track master of the '90s, and no style is more distinctive. Aggressive and raw, a Premier track is an instantly recognizable soundclash of battling loops and heavy scratching -- all of them perfectly timed -- that evokes the sound of Brooklyn better than anyone. Besides helming Gang Starr's seven albums, including the remarkable sequence of Step…

Show Her The Way
I've been a fan since he and Mar dropped their "Conversations with Her" EP back in 2010. I haven't heard from you since then, but Full Crate's latest project, "A Kid From Yerevan" popped up on my radar, and I love what I'm hearing. Currently, "Show Her The Way" is in heavy rotation but I'm sure others from this album will be added in no time.

Anytime I have the audacity to forget about Alex Isley , someone comes along and drops her beautiful voice on top a groove. This time it's one of my favorite producers of the moment, Yaahn Hunter Jr . remixing this little Summer Madness interlude. Praying to the music Gods that this has the chance of becoming official.

Centering her love of music both leisurely and educationally, Soul honed her musical skills through years of studious experience within Europe.
