A-Smooth mixes up some of DJ Premier's finest in a new mixtape.

After seeing DJ Premier's awful set at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival this past Saturday I needed a proper reminder of the man's work, so this is perfect. DJ A-Smooth has mixed together a great collection of Premo's past production for acts like, Nas, Jay-Z and, of course, Gangstarr. Plus, it has Rakim's "It's Been A Long Time", and since I'm the only blogger alive that enjoyed The 18th Letter, I have to push this mixtape.
