The Sun Rises In The East: Original Samples

Jeru The Damaja: The Sun Rises In The East

It’s been a minute since we’ve dropped a dope sample set on you all. Just so you know, Kev and I have been hard at work and we have quite a few sets lined up for release soon.

This one’s for all you Preemo heads out there! The Sun Rises in The East is the 1994 debut album from Jeru The Damaja. Totally produced by DJ Premier and Jeru, most say it is arguably some of Preemo’s best work.

The samples here range from obscure jazz records, to not-so-obscure breaks, to early 90s hip hop. This set is seriously bangin! Only a couple of samples are missing. If someone has the Lee Oskar album, hook em up!

The Intro (Life) also sampled the anime movie Fist of the North Star (mad violent old school anime, u should watch it).

The music right at the beginning of the intro, and also the words that he’s saying are from the intro of the anime. I managed to find the part sampled on youtube, check it out (crank up the volume cos its a bit quiet):

I was at JERU’s concert in TOULOUSE (FRANCE) last thursday. He actually had a great show with a lot of presence and interraction with da public. Even if it was in in front of a small crowd ( 200 ). He did all the classics, except “Me or the papes”, instead he did “Me not the paper”. It’s been a long time since i’ve been at a hip hop show, and this one was definitly worth.
We spoke a few minute to him before da show, and he wasn’t playin da star at all , it was straight hip hop.
So Big up to JERU. “you can’t stop the prohet” ‘s “jungle music”when his “mind spray” cuz he always “come clean” for all “da bichez” and the “perverted monks in the house”.

Like he said in his last album : Fuck whatchu thought was dope, this shit is da crack

Jungle Music rocks still same as all tracks from dis album

Hello, on the file with all the samples on it, the first track, Cerecka, is actually not Cerecka at all. If you listen to it, you cannot hear something that sounds like Intro (Life) on it. I do have the proper version of Cerecka and you can hear the Intro (Life) beat on it. Just wondering if you would like the real Cerecka so you could take out the ‘fake’ one and replace it with the real Cerecka.
