DJ Premier (feat. Nas & The Berklee Symphony Orchestra) - Regeneration

Backed by The Berklee Symphony Orchestra, DJ Premier and Nas reunite for the first time in years. It's the first offering from the RE:GENERATION documentary. Read more below:

DJ Premier was given Classical and began his immersion into the genre with Bruce Adolphe, a former classical music professor at Juilliard. They met at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music not far from DJ Premier's home in NY. After learning about classical music theory, the inspirations of some of the genre's most profound composers and how traditional pieces are structured, DJ Premier went out and bought tons of classical symphonies on vinyl to mash up his own creation. We then took that mash-up and orchestrated it for sheet music. In the first step of the actual recording process, DJ Premier partnered with Stephen Webber, a professor and conductor at the Berklee College of Music. Steven taught Premier how to conduct and helped him in studio with the 58-piece Berklee Symphony Orchestra you hear on the track. Of all the takes, the one you hear is the “wild” version (which means they recorded it without the metronome in their headphones) DJ Premier conducted himself. Then, DJ Premier brought that instrumental track back home to NY, and Nas laid down his rhyme on top of it.
