DJ Premier | Serato Icon Artist Series
DJ Premier is the latest Serato Icon. A true cornerstone of hip-hop and a key figure in the development of the culture. An era-defining DJ and producer, his signature style was a blueprint for the underground and influenced a generation. Probably most well known as one half of Gang Starr, there's a large chunk of an entire genre that he's directly responsible for. He's a legend for die-hard hip-hop fiends but also a household name.
