DJ Premier: Royce Da 5’9″ Samples

DJ Premier and Royce Da 5’9″ have collaborated on five or six songs over the years to great success.  With the success of these collaborations Royce has enlisted Premier to executive produce his Street Hop album.  Prem is rumored to be contributing six or seven tracks to the album dropping October of this year.

We’ve highlighted four of their collaborations today.  These sample aren’t new…they’ve been known for some time.  We only have the main samples, but we know Prem uses all types of sounds, drum breaks, and vocal samples for his tracks (i.e., “Boom” has some “Kick in the Door” sounding effects and some keys in the track).  So if you have additional information leave them in the comments.

No streaming for the vocal samples this week (too many), however, they are included in the download.  In case you missed the first week go here now!
