Hip-hop heads rejoice as Legendry DJ and Producer DJ Premier kicks of his whirlwind “Boom Bap” tour at the start of the year in Australia

DJ Premier, arguably the greatest hip-hop producer in history, carries an unbelievably impressive CV. He is considered one of hip-hop’s most important and influential trailblazers, before becoming one half of the famed East Coast duo Gang Starr alongside Guru in 1989.

The Texas-born DJ Premier has a lengthy list of accolades and achievements that begins in the 80s when he got his break as a DJ. He then went on to produce some of the most iconic songs, and a long list of acclaimed hip-hop albums of all time including Nas’ ‘NY State of Mind’, ‘Memory Lane’ and ‘Represent’, Biggie’s ‘Kick in the Door’, ‘Ten Crack Commandments’ and ‘Unbelievable’, Jay-Z’s ‘D’Evils’, ‘Friend or Foe’ and ‘Bring It On’ to name just a few. Throw in Big L, Mos Def, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, KRS-One, D’Angelo and Big Daddy Kane and you start to get an idea of his stature.

From a sold out tour in 2014, and with limited capacities, tickets are not expected to last long.
