Hip Hop 50, Vol. 1

Hip Hop 50, Vol. 1 is the first installment in the series of 10 EPs with 5 songs each. This one is entirely produced by the legendary DJ Premier. The EP brings with it a diverse catalog of rappers on every song, such as Joey Bada$$, Lil Wayne, the duo Run The Jewels, Nas and more.

On July 7, DJ Premier teased on Instagram a new joint with his frequent collaborator, Nas—the song would end up being “Beat Breaks”.

Four days later, DJ Premier revealed the project, alongside the tracklist.
