Last month, DJ Premier curated and shared his DJ Premier: Hip Hop 50 Volume 1 EP. The project is a five-song body of work produced entirely by the legendary tastemaker while also boasting collaborations with Lil Wayne, Nas, Remy Ma, Rapsody, Joey Bada$$, Slick Rick, and Run The Jewels. Today (Aug. 11), in celebration of hip hop’s 49th birthday, he circles back to drop the project’s first visual, the Maya Table-directed music video for “Remy Rap.” Equipped with features from Remy Ma and Rapsody, the song honors the women killing it in the rap game, specifically reminiscing on Remy’s impact:
No lie, it’s only like five females in the game that can really rap, got followers and fame and a name so they thinking that/ They can now be listed with the spitters, b**ch, imagine that, they talking ’bout your lace front when I say your s**t is wiggity-wack/ They know what’s gon’ happen to they a** if Remy on the track and no, I ain’t tryna be catty, they know they really lack
You a**ed out without your a** out, and that’s really facts but if I say it, I’m a hater, I hear the chitter chat/ They know that my pen is crazy but they don’t wanna give me that, every time I spit some s**t, they saying that it’s really Pap’/ Claim I can’t make a song but actually that’s really cap, had ’em: ‘Conceited,’ ‘All The Way Up,’ and ‘Leanin’ Back’, I know they be popping s**t, she only hot when Remy crack
Outside of his own releases, DJ Premier can be heard on recent collaborations like Benny The Butcher’s “Times Is Rough” track featuring BSF.
