Week 16 has us exploring some of Premier‘s work with the Philly emcee, Bahamadia. She dropped her debut album Kollage in 1996 along with a laundry list of dope albums such as Reasonable Doubt, It Was Written, Illadelph Halflife, The Score, Hell on Earth, All Eyez on Me, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, Ironman, Muddy Waters, etc. The album kicked off with the singles “UKNOWHOWWEDU” and “3 Tha Hard Way,” which earned some airplay on Rap City. Bahamadia had lyrics for days (check out “Wordplay” from the album) and was the antithesis to Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown who were big at that time. Lyrics and dope production equals a solid debut album.
Premier laced her with five tracks and we have two of them today. Premier produced the 50 second long “Intro” and provides his signature drums and loop for “True Honey Buns (Dat Freak Shit).” The message in “True Honey….” is definitely opposite of what Kim and Foxy were kicking back in ’96.
