DJ Premier’s fan site just released a radio rip of the first track off the producer’s collaborative project with KRS, Return of the Boom-Bip, featuring Grand Puba. You may recall, this was previously heard during Pete Rock and Nick Javas show in Japan earlier this year.
The other half of Heltah Skeltah, Rock is also releasing new music on Mondays and seriously, his fourth installment is not to be fucked with. Mr. X also has the previous three. Shuko on the track.
Keysh recently cruised with Nicki in Los Angeles while shooting a video for her new single directed by Benny Boom. Rap-Up was there and snapped a few flicks from the set. Sure wouldn’t mind a night out on the town with these two.
Saturday night, West Hollywood’s Key Club was the place to be as DJ Quik and $hort Dawg both shared the same stage with a live band. Above is footage from their set. Don’t act like “2 Bitches” ’cause you weren’t there. sermon

It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
