On the latest episode of DJ Premier's So Wassup, he details the making of Gang Starr's "You Know My Steez" from their first gold album, Moment of Truth.
"People always ask what my top 5 Gang Starr songs are," Preemo said. "I don't really have a top 5, but if I had to have a top 5 this is definitely gonna be in it," he said of the lead single from their fifth album.
Premier reminds us that Gang Starr released an album every year from 89-93, and then took a hiatus of four years while he produced other artists and Guru released Jazzmatazz and other solo projects. He then stresses the risk of taking such a long break, especially in Hip-Hop.
"Our fanbase stayed loyal and hungry for what we brought," he said, "but we knew that the first single had to be a banger."
