Blaq Poet‘s new album Tha Blaqprint has the cosign that most rappers would give a limb to have. That co-sign is DJ Premier and in this new short video, his praise to Blaq Poet is front and center stage. The video features Premier talking Tha Blaqprint and he’s so excited about the new album he can’t sit still. Watch and listen as Preemo spins in circles (literally) and discusses Poet’s history in the game and what makes Poet unique. Poet’s signature hard-core sound is only one of the many reasons why DJ Premier crafted all but two of the Tha Blaqprint’s beats and made it the debut release on his new label, Year Round Records.

    That’s the single from the album, the beat is on point. Hopefully it’s as good as Preemo claims it is.

    this shit was getting me dizzy

    but I mean, Premier is infamous for messing with suspect emcees. Out of all of them that he’s been closely linked with, Blaq Poet might be one of the better emcees that he’s messing with.

    Premier did a number of beats on this album, if not the whole thing, so look out for it

    The EP was pretty disappointing, the beats didn’t really stand out for me as they’ve done with other artists who have a bigger following e.g. Ludacris – MVP. Though he sounds confident, im looking forward to this one. I think he needs to buy a merry go round or some shit.
