blame it on Meka October 18, 2019

Back in September, and to the delight of many, DJ Premier took to his social media accounts to tease a new album from Gang Starr — the first since 2003’s The Ownerz — is on the horizon. Following that, a new single from the group, “Family & Loyalty” with J. Cole, hit the e-waves.

So, yes, in case you are still unsure, there will be a new album from Preemo and (the late) Guru: One of the Best Yet. A 16-track affair that comes equipped with an array of guests–including Talib Kweli, Ne-Yo, Nitty Scott, Q-Tip, Royce 5’9, Big Shug, Freddie Foxxx, Group Home, and more.

And yes, there will be a new “Militia” track.
