In what would be the dream collaboration for anyone who has ever considered themselves a hip-hop head, B.I.G. Over Premier pairs acapellas from one Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls, over beats produced by arguably the greatest beatsmith ever, DJ Premier. Fitting for this hypothetical New York vs. New York collaboration, the mixtape was put together by DJ Finesse for Premier’s Sirius/XM show Live From Headqcourterz early in March. Known for his immaculately layered samples and complex chopping of breaks, Primo would be the fantasy producer for any Biggie project, even though in real life they only worked on 3 tracks together: “Unbelievable”, “Kick In The Door” and “Ten Crack Commandments”. Look out for such Big Poppa classics as “Things Done Changed”, “Juicy” and “Long Kiss Goodnight” over Gang Starr’s “You Know My Steez”. Props to Finesse for putting together this dream mixtape, which also includes an intro from Premier himself.
