As Gang Starr's sound director, DJ Premier is responsible for one of rap's most
innovative sounds. His contribution is far from over: DJ Premier has produced
many eminent artists, including Nas, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Jeru the
Damaja, Macy Gray and Limp Bizkit. Above all, DJ Premier's sound is unmistakably
direct, often composed of several rhythms, favoringclean versions and, above
all, a science of sampling that perfectly blends jazz, soul and hip-hop.
