Tonight DJ Premier
spins at the Shrine; tickets are only $10 (with a $1.99 service charge). It's a good price for one of the legends of contemporary music, a producer who's done tracks for
Illmatic,
Ready to Die,
Reasonable Doubt,
Return of the Boom Bap,
Like Water for Chocolate, and the forthcoming
Good Ass Job (
"really boom-bap, hard, hard beats"). Veteran Chicago producer/DJ
Tone B. Nimble opens; the excellent fan site
djpremierblog has a host of DJ Premier mixtapes, including his Malcolm McLaren tribute.
