About

Hip-hop heads rejoice. Rhythm Group Entertainment, Illusive and Frontier Touring are
elated to kick off a brand new concert concept with two of the genre’s most iconic
producers of all time. Collusion, a new event series which revolves around collaborative
artist performances, will see its first instalment in May with incomparable hip-hop legends
DJ Premier and Pete Rock. Premo and Pete will be performing massive co-op DJ set at
The Powerstation in what will be an extremely rare experience.

DJ Premier, arguably the greatest hip-hop producer in history, carries an unbelievably
impressive CV. Emerging with the late Guru as half of the boundary-crossing duo
GangStarr, he established himself as the face of the famed New York sound during rap's
'90s golden era. He produced some of the most iconic songs on some of the most
acclaimed hip-hop albums of all time including Nas' 'NY State of Mind', 'Memory Lane'
and 'Represent', Biggie's 'Kick in the Door', 'Ten Crack Commandments' and
'Unbelievable', Jay-Z's 'D'Evils', 'Friend or Foe' and 'Bring It On' to name just a few.
Throw in Big L, Mos Def, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, KRS-One, D’Angelo and Big Daddy
Kane and you start to get an idea of his stature.

Alongside Premo atop the summit of legendary hip-hop producers stands the one and
only Pete Rock. Rising to prominence as part of the seminal New York duo Pete Rock &
C.L. Smooth in the early '90s, Pete went on to become one of the most beloved and
respected hip-hop producers the genre has ever seen. He is behind classic beats by the
likes of Rakim, Nas, M.O.P., Run DMC, Raekwon, Big L, Heavy D & The Boyz,
Ghostface Killah, Das EFX and Boot Camp Clik. More recently, contemporary icons
Kanye West and the late J Dilla both have listed Pete Rock as a major inspiration behind
their sound, clearly illustrating his enormous impact on the culture.
Together, Pete and Premo will create the most formidable hip-hop production duo you're
likely to see on stage, ever. As producers they are in a league of their own and as DJs
are considered some of the best in the game. Do not miss this.
