KNOW YA HIP HOP: DJ Premier And The Fresh Four MCs

On November 26, 2021, the Universal Hip Hop Museum and AllHipHop.com celebrate DJ Premier and The Fresh Four MCs at the Roof-Top Roller Skating & Disco in Harlem.

DJ PREMIER

During the pandemic, Swizz Beatz paired Wu-Tang’s RZA against DJ Premier during an early Verzuz battle. Known for being one-half of Gang Starr, it seemed people forgot what an extraordinary producer he is.

A fun fact about the man behind Biggie’s “Kick in the Door,” or KRS-One’s “MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know,” is that while he is a staple in New York’s Golden Era and signature sound, he is actually from Texas.

An even cooler fact is that he is a proud alum of Prairie View A&M University, an HBCU (Guru attended Morehouse), and developed his skills deejaying right there on campus.
