Complexion Drops a Gang Starr Mix For 'Luke Cage'

If you follow what I do at the day job, you've seen me write hella words about Netflix's new Marvel series, Luke Cage. One thing I loved was how showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker made sure to name each of the 13 episodes of the first season after a Gang Starr song. During my convo with Cheo, he spoke on how the titles really weave the tale of Luke's journey, although lyrically there weren't any gems to the story.

While the official Luke Cage playlist is out, I'd not seen anyone put the Gang Starr songs referenced in the episode titles together...until now. Shouts to Complexion for putting this one together swiftly. If you're not up on this legendary duo, get your knowledge on. RIP Guru.

Kanye West - "I Love Kanye (T.L.O.Preemix)"

Kind of wish this instrumental was out there by itself, but you have to respect DJ Premier wanting to clothe a naked acapella.

DJ Premier Dropped a Very Different Mix for Diplo & Friends

File this new DJ Premier mix under "definitely not what you'd expect." It's funny; back in March of 2013, Avicii dropped a surprising set for Diplo & Friends, featuring everything from Smokey Robinson to Foreigner. Preemo has done something similar with his hour, spending damn near 37 minutes throwing in a number of pop and rock JAMS before throwing down some hip-hop.

The best part? This was done as a part of Radio 1's "Hip-Hop Month." You can stream the full set down below.

The Combat Jack Show ft. Dallas Penn (4/11/2012)

This episode is epic. Not only does Just Blaze officially join the Combat Jack Show ft. Dallas Penn crew, but the one and only DJ Premier stops in for a great interview. They go in on everything, from Preemo's thoughts on Guru, Christina Aguilera, porn and "pause", but thoughts on his forthcoming projects (he does say the rumored project with Nas is going to happen). Even Bun B and Freddie Foxxx call into the show on the random. Ain't no other show fucking with what they're building. Don't believe me? Peep the iTunes podcast, which has been updated with all of the past shows (save a couple few few). #GetReadyForCombat
