Over on Preemo's official blog he has released a "Trackology". It basically has loads of info about his work, including how many tracks he has released each year since 1989, amount of mixtapes, every track he has produced (gives artist, the sample, etc) plus his contributions.

Btw what are your top 5 Premo beats?

Mine are (in no particular order):

1. Mass Appeal - Gangstarr
2. Nas - N.Y. State of Mind
3. Crooklyn Dodgers '95 - Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers
4. Group Home - Supa Star
5. Unbelievable - Biggie Smalls

It's actually extremely difficult to only choose 5 because there are sooooooooooooooooooooo many amazing beats choice from!

tough one,so many to choose from. at top of my head id go with this.

1. Dj premier ..... spin live of the instrumental album
2. Fat joe .... the shi* is real remix
3. AZ ..... the come up
4. Reks...... goodnight
5. Rakim.... when i be on the mic

thats of the top of my head, its a toss up really i could of easily put some of nas's tracks with him in there or kick in the door by biggie etc

i dont even know if thats my top 5 thats how good his beats are.

I've no idea what my personal top five would be, it's near impossible to choose but this is definitely a banger.
