DJ Premier takes J. Cole’s “1985 (Intro to “The Fall Off)” back to 1966 with a get down-inspired remix that gives the track some soul.
On Twitter DJ Premier said he remixed the record for the “Underground street DJs.” He also said he bought Cole’s ‘KOD’ album as soon at it dropped without warning and “1985” in particular resonated with him, so he asked Cole if he can get an a capella version so he can remix it.
“I bought J. Cole’s KOD LP as soon as it dropped with no warning to the fans; which I too am a fan,” he said. “‘1985’ resonated with me immediately, so I asked Cole if I could get the a capella and do an underground DJ version just for fun. He sent it and I just pieced some stab samples to keep it on some boom bap shit. Here it is!”
