After
15 years apart, Jeru hopes to reunite with DJ Premier
Few rappers have albums produced entirely by DJ Premier, even fewer have two.
Brookln native Jeru The Damaja is one of the lucky ones, have the legendary
producer handle his first and second albums (1994 "s The Sun Rises in the East
and 1996 "s Wrath of the Math).
Sometime between 1997 and 1998 the two had a falling out, leading to the Gang
Starr track "B.I. vs. Friendship." Jeru denied a beef and said the
longtime collaboraters just elected to go in different directions. Since then
Jeru has released three albums and is preparing his sixth album for release
in 2011.
"My new album is coming out soon. I "m not going to let the name out. Its
a lot of biters," Kendrick Jeru Davis told Much Music. "I have a lot
of dope rappers lined up."
The album should be a return to his 90 "s New York roots with production coming
from Large Professor, Pete Rock and JuJu of The Beatnuts. Hopefully, another
shot with Primo as well.
"Hopefully I get the Premier track on there," he added. "I spoke
to Premier not too long ago."
