Tomorrow is the 20 year anniversary of possibly the BEST Hip-Hop album (depending who you ask) EVER recorded, Illmatic. With that, we wanted to re-release a tape we did with Nas back in 2008, before we were the “L.A. Leakers,” before we had Twitter or Instagram, and before we had any sense of what a good intro sounded like…. Haha! This was what first gave us the idea to do our audio-biographies that we do. We didn’t fully have the idea down yet, but going back and listening made us want to know stories more in detail and that’s when we did our first REAL audio-biography. Pass this along to all the Nas fans you know, they’ll enjoy it for sure. Congrats to Nas on 20 years! By the way, if you got a hard copy of this, you’re a SUPER O.G.

DJ Premier On Nas’ “Memory Lane (Sittin’ in da Park)” (Video)

We had a chance to get in the studio with DJ Premier to work on a new audio-biography, Leaks That Collected Dust. It will be available for download on 05/12/14. If you’ve never heard any of our audio-biographies, you can check some of them out HERE. With the 20 year anniversary of Nas‘ Illmatic being this week, we felt it was only right to release this video first, DJ Premier talked to us on the making of “Memory Lane (Sittin’ in da Park)”.
