(AllHipHop News) Living, Hip-Hop legend DJ Premier has announced the details behind the first compilation for his record label, Year Round Records titled Year Round Records: Get Used To Us. The first collection of tracks from the world renowned beat creator hits the streets this December and features the Year Round Records Roster: Nick Javas, Khaleel and NYG’Z. In addition to Preme’s roster of artists, Get Used To Us features guest appearances from a who’s-who in Hip-Hop, including KRS-One, MC Eiht, Styles P., Royce da 5’9, Freddie Foxxx,  Lady of Rage, Blaq Poet, Papoose, Tef, Dynasty, Young Maylay, Joell Ortiz, Saigon and Grand Puba. Additionally, Brenks and legendary producer Showbiz contribute tracks to the 16-song album. “I chose to release this LP while I put the finishing touches on all of the projects that were due for 2010,” DJ Premier said. “I figured, why not pull a song from each project as well as the Remixes that were only available on 12” inch vinyl last year. Since I am independent and I do not have to worry about following the map that our industry goes by, my goal is to release more than six albums in 2011.”If all goes according to plan, DJ Premier’s label will release six new albums in 2011: Pete Rock Vs. DJ Premier, KRS-One (Return of the Boom Bip), Freddie Foxxx (The Kolexion), Tef (Contraband), Nick Jovas (Destination Unknown) and NYG’z (Hustlaz Union: Local NYG). The NYG’z’ Hustlaz Union: Local NYG will be the first all-DJ Premier produced project since Gangstarr’s 200X album The Ownerz. “I am a street DJ! Street DJ’s set the trends of what is good way before everyone knows what is happening,” DJ Premier said. “Street DJ’s are like weathermen, we know when it is sunny, rainy, snowy, hurricanes; you name it before it actually hits.  To prove my independence, I am dropping 4 singles and videos all at once (Nick Javas “Opportunity Knoccs”), (NYG’z “Policy”), (Khaleel “Hot Flames”), (MC Eiht “Fine By Me”) for the Get Used To Us compilation.”I pride myself on making sure that my established market of fans and supporters get fed what there always waiting for when I release music and I welcome new fans that want to hear hard, original beats with rhymes that you can’t deny when it comes to skills,” DJ Premier continued. “Plus, I have a live weekly radio show Friday nights from 10pm—Midnight (EST) on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio-(Hip Hop Nation)-(Sirius 40/XM 67) called (”Live From Headqcourterz”) which is dedicated to breaking new underground Hip Hop from a true DJ’s perspective.  I only play what I think the audience needs to hear.  Hip Hop’s age range has gone from age 4 to 60 believe it or not.  You cannot outgrow a culture so I fill the void that terrestrial radio cannot fill.”Year Round Records: Get Used To Us is due in stores on December 7th, 2010.
