Producer Profile
Christopher Martin, known as DJ Premier, is the defining producer of East Coast hardcore hip hop through his work with Gang Starr and countless New York MCs. His signature style — scratched vocal hooks, piano and horn stabs chopped from jazz and funk records, snapping snares — is among the most imitated in the genre. Premier's beats have soundtracked three decades of hip hop history.
