DJ Premier has released the first new installment of his popular Beats That Collected Dust series in over a decade. Preemo is one of the busiest and most consistent producers in the game and his recent Grammy nomination for his collaboration for "Le Pido A Dios" with Feid shows his versatility and ability to craft music for artists of different genres, while maintaining his signature Boom Bap sound.
Beats That Collected Dust Vol.3, Premier's latest project continues the series' theme of compiling beats that Preemo crafted for other artists, but were never used. “I like unique releases and Beats That Collected Dust is so unique," Premier said in a press release. "I also love the process of titling a project. I’ve always been responsible for titling all the projects I produce, and Beats That Collected Dust is so fitting. The format is an original tool, just like talk beds, freestyles, writing verses, and just plain listening." He continued, "I decide when to release these instrumental volumes when they reach the stage of collecting dust. So here we are; Beats That Collected Dust, Vol. 3 is here and vinyl has arrived.”
